Are there prime numbers over 400?

Yes, in fact, there is no last prime number - the set of prime numbers is infinite. The proof was already known 2000 years ago: If you assume that there is a last prime number, multiply all prime numbers up to that "last prime number". Then add one. The result is either a prime number itself, or it is composed of factors, none of which is one of the prime numbers you multiplied (because of the added 1). Thus, the original assumption (that there is a last prime number) has to be false. Example: The first 3 prime numbers are 2, 3, 5. If you multiply them, you get 30. Add one to the result, and you get 31. This number isn't divisible by 2, by 3, nor by 5. It happens to be a prime, but this isn't always so.


When did prime numbers first come into light?

They were known, at least, to the Ancient Greeks - perhaps earlier. I believe it was one of the Ancient Greeks who proved that the set of prime numbers was infinite (or "larger than any given set", or that there was no last prime number).They were known, at least, to the Ancient Greeks - perhaps earlier.

What is balanced prime number?

A balanced prime number is a prime number that is equal distance from the last prime before it and the next prime after it. Example: 53 is a balanced prime. The last prime number before it was 47 and the next prime after it is 59. (53 - 47) and (59 - 53) both equal 6, so 53 is a balanced prime.
