Well, there is an infinite number of numbers, so technically, there is an infinite amount of prime numbers.
No. Euler roved that there are an infinite amount of prime numbers.
Impossible to know; prime numbers are infinite.
Yes, there is an infinite amount of prime numbers. This has been proven by the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid. As for composite numbers, since there are infinitely many natural numbers, there must also be an infinite amount of composite numbers, as they are all the natural numbers that are not prime.
That's an infinite list, started by 3.
It has not yet been discovered because numbers are infinite
The set of prime numbers is thought to be infinite.
Since there are an infinite number of prime numbers, there are infinite numbers with any given number of prime factors.
You cannot list all the potential prime factors. Any prime number can be a prime factor. There are an infinite number of prime numbers, so there are an infinite number of potential prime factors. If given a specific number, the prime factors for it can be listed.
The set of prime numbers is infinite. There's a greatest one we know, but every year or so a new greater one is discovered.
Perhaps what you mean to ask "What is the next prime number above 53?". One cannot tell, as numbers are indeed infinite, what the highest prime number is. There is a team of scientists that, not too long ago, discovered a twelve-digit (I think twelve) prime number. Prime numbers, like numbers, are infinite and there is no way, therefore, to assess a 'highest' nor a 'lowest' numeral.
There are an infinite number of prime numbers.
Infinity. There's an infinite number of place values, so you can create an infinite number of numbers that start with nine. Some of these will be prime, and since there is an infinite number of numbers starting with nine, there is an infinite number of prime numbers that start with 9 as well.
While 230402457 - 1 was the largest known prime when it was discovered, there really is no 'largest' prime number. It can be proven that the set of prime numbers is infinite, so we will never be able to label one as the largest.
No, prime numbers already existed. Euclid simply made some important mathematical contributions related to prime numbers. Among others, he discovered a surprisingly simple proof that the set of prime numbers is infinite; and he discovered that the prime factorization of any natural number is unique.
It is impossible to know the number of prime numbers because there is an infinite number of them.
