The largest prime p
Suppose there is a largest prime,p.
Multiplying all the numbers up to p,we get a super large number we will denote as P.
P+1 cannot be composite because it has no prime factors in common with P.
P+1 cannot be prime because p is the largest prime and there are no primes bigger than it.
That is a contradiction,so there are infinity primes.
