Yes. As infinity is so vast, and massive.. well infinite to be honest, there are also infinite prime numbers. The only difference is that they are few and far between. For instance, in low digits, they occur a lot more frequently (2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17) And that's just in the space of 20 numbers. However, as they get bigger, the gaps between them are much larger.
Currently, the highest know Prime number is [(243112609) -1], a number 12978189 digits long. (For some perspective 1,000,000,000,000 is only 13 digits) The prime number right below that is [(237156667)-1] and is only 11185272 digits long. Therefore, the higher prime numbers get, the further apart they are.

Are there infinitely many natural numbers that are not prime?
This can be an extension to the proof that there are infinitely many prime numbers. If there are infinitely many prime numbers, then there are also infinitely many PRODUCTS of prime numbers. Those numbers that are the product of 2 or more prime numbers are not prime numbers.
What are the prime numbers starting from 1?
There are infinitely many prime numbers and therefore they cannot be listed.There are infinitely many prime numbers and therefore they cannot be listed.There are infinitely many prime numbers and therefore they cannot be listed.There are infinitely many prime numbers and therefore they cannot be listed.
What are the products of three different prime numbers?
Since there are infinitely many prime numbers there are infinitely many sets of three prime numbers and so there are infinitely many products.
What are the all the prime numbers?
There are infinitely many!
Why are there 500 prime numbers?
The question does not make sense. There are not 500 prime numbers but infinitely many!
What are the three odd prime numbers?
The question, "the" three odd prime numbers, is wrong. There are much more than three odd prime numbers - in fact, infinitely many. There are infinitely many prime numbers, and all except the number 2 are odd.
What is the smallest numbers whose prime factors are the consecutive prime number from 20 and onwards?
There are infinitely many prime numbers, and also infinitely many twin primes so there is no answer to the question.
Why can a prime number not be abundant?
Prime numbers are abundant, in fact there is an infinite about of prime numbers. There is just and infinitely greater amount of non-prime numbers.
Who provided the infinitely prime numbers in 300bc?
Euclid
Are there more prime numbers that are odd or even?
There are infinitely many prime numbers. There is only one even prime number, which is 2, because all other even numbers are divisible by 2 and thus are not prime. So, there are infinitely many odd prime numbers and only one even prime number.
What prime numbers greater than 30?
There are infinitely many prime numbers which are greater than 30.
How many known prime numbers are there?
There are infinite prime numbers as there is infinite numbers. You cannot limit the counting of primes.
