Abstract: A semiprime is a natural number which can be written as the product of two primes. The asymptotic behaviour of the function $p{i}_2(x)$, the number of semiprimes less than or equal to $x$, is studied. Using a combinatorial argument, asymptotic series of $p{i}_2(x)$ is determined, with all the terms explicitly given. An algorithm for the calculation of the constants involved in the asymptotic series is presented and the constants are computed to 20 significant digits. The errors of the partial sums of the asymptotic series are investigated. A generalization of this approach to products of $k$ primes, for $kgeq3$, is also proposed.
