Start with 1000 and work back, rejecting any composites that you find.

Who was the mathematician who discovered the largest prime number that exists?

It has been proven that there is no largest prime number. You can find a list of the largest KNOWN prime numbers here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Largest_known_prime_number


How do you find the largest prime factor of a number?

Suppose you have a number N and you want to find its largest prime factor. It is probably easiest to start at the bottom.Find the smallest prime factor, p.Find its factor pair = N/p.If the second number (= N/p) is a prime, then it is the largest prime factor.if not, replace N by N/p and go back to the top.


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.
