Abstract: Define the total number of distinct prime factors of an odd perfect number n asω(n). We prove that if n is an odd perfect number which is relatively prime to 3 and 5 and7, then ω(n) ≥ 107. And using this result, we give a conclusion that the third largest prime factor of such an odd perfect number exceeds 1283. 

Key words: odd perfect numbers, the total number of distinct prime factors, the third largest prime factor
