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?

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.


How many of the digits in the prime numbers end in 13579?

As there are infinitely many primes (as Euclid proved circa 300 BC) and not all of them are (or can be) known, it is impossible to answer this question.


What are the all the prime numbers?

There are infinitely many!


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 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.


How many known prime numbers are there?

There are infinite prime numbers as there is infinite numbers. You cannot limit the counting of primes.


What prime numbers greater than 30?

There are infinitely many prime numbers which are greater than 30.


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.


How many numbers are relatively prime to 37?

Infinitely many numbers are relatively prime to 37. Because 37 is a prime number, all other numbers are relatively prime to it.
