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.

That's known as the prime factorization.
The largest known prime number is 243112609 - 1, the largest integer that is currently known to be a prime number. It was proven by Euclid that there are infinitely many prime numbers; thus, there is always a prime greater than the largest known prime.
