There is no highest Prime number. Given any set of prime numbers, you can prove that there is at least one prime number that is not in that set. Here's how.
First, recall that every natural number is either a prime number, or is a composite number and thus the product of some series of prime numbers.
Now, suppose you have a set of n prime numbers, P1 .. Pn. Multiply them all together and add one. Call this number Q.
Q is either prime or composite.
If Q is prime, then it is obviously not one of P1 .. Pn, and thus is a new prime number not in that set.
If Q is composite, then there must be a list of primes that evenly divide into it. Because Q is one greater than the product of P1 .. Pn, dividing by any of those primes will have a remainder of 1. So there must be some new prime, call it R, that divides evenly into Q.
In either case, Q or R is a new prime.
Now suppose that you have some potential highest prime. Enumerate all of the primes lower than it, and follow the above procedure with that set of primes. You will end up with a new prime not in that list. Since you have listed all primes less than your purported highest prime, any new prime number must be greater than your highest prime.
Thus, there is no highest prime.
99 is not a prime because it can be divisible by 3 and 33
To find the highest prime factor of 420, we first need to factorize 420 into its prime factors. 420 can be expressed as 2^2 * 3 * 5 * 7. The highest prime factor is 7. Prime factors are numbers that can only be divided by 1 and themselves without leaving a remainder, and the highest prime factor is the largest prime number that can divide the original number.
9973.
We can't answer this if you don't provide a range since new higher prime numbers get discovered every year or so. Since the lowest prime number is 2, the product will be whatever the highest prime number is doubled.
It is 997.It is 997.It is 997.It is 997.
The highest four-digit prime number is 9,973.
The lowest prime number is 2. The highest prime number less than 100 is 97.
The highest prime number after 31 is infinitely high. The lowest prime number greater than 31 is 37.
The highest two-digit prime number is 97. Out of that group, the highest (and only) prime number is 71.
The highest prime number under 100 is 97.
99 is not a prime because it can be divisible by 3 and 33
next prime number after 31 = 37
The lowest prime number is 2. The highest prime number less than 100 is 91 97.
The highest prime number is 1638478953 but know one knows after thatIf you want the next prime number after 50--the lowest one above 50--it's 53.
No.
There is no highest number, highest prime number, or highest composite number. Therefore, there can't be a second-highest, third-highest, etc., of any of these types of numbers, either.
Highest one is 2
