Best Answer

There is no such animal as "a number near infinity".

Proof.

Let n be a number near infinity.

Multiply n by a million

The result is still less than infinity, therefore n is less than one millionth of infinity.

This can hardly be said to be "near".

On the other hand, no matter how large a number n is, there is always a prime larger.
