No. If you multiply any numbers, those numbers are factors of whatever product you get. Therefore, this product is a composite number; it has atleast the two factors you multiplyed before. Compposite numbers are never prime.

If the two factors above were prime, you would still end up with a composite number.

For example: 3 times 5 equals 15. The factors of 15 are 1, 3, 5, and 15. 15 is composite.

7 time 51 equals 357. The factors of 357 are 1, 7, 51, and 357. 357 is composite.

How can you prove there is no largest prime number?

No. No matter how large of an example you choose, someone always can find a larger number (of any kind), because the upper range of number is infinite. If you take all the known prime numbers and multiply them together, then add 1 to the result, you will have a number that is not divisible by any of the known prime numbers. This number will either be prime or have prime factors that were not previously known. So, in this way, you can always find a new prime number or a number that is a multiple of new prime numbers. If the known prime numbers include all the prime numbers up to the largest known, the new ones must be larger.
