There are an infinite number of prime numbers. Many of them are large.
In fact ... since there are an infinite number of them, for any number you choose,
no matter how large it is, there are an infinite number of primes that are larger
than your number !
Here are the first 49 prime numbers that are larger than [1 billion] :

How are these extremely large prime numbers found?
There is no formula that will specifically give you a prime number and no non-prime number. Therefore, several large numbers are tested to see if they are primes, until a prime number is found.
How do you get the prime factorization of large numbers?
The same way as with smaller numbers, it may take longer. Just keep dividing by prime numbers until all the factors are prime.
Why are people so fascinated by finding new prime numbers?
In part because the problem of finding large prime numbers isn't exactly trivial.
How do you use prime numbers in real life?
Data encryption, used for personal identification numbers (PINs) and for secure communications over the internet are based on very large prime numbers.
What is the sum of the large prime less than 100 and the smallest prime greater than 100?
97 plus 101 198
Do large numbers have more prime factors than smaller numbers?
Usually, but not necessarily and not if they're prime. All prime numbers have the same number of factors.

What are the 2 largest prime numbers that are under 100?
91,97 are the two large prime numbers below 100.

What is a mersume prime number?
Let p = any prime number. (2p -1) is called a Mersenne number. Any such number that is prime is called a Mersenne Prime. Father Mersenne wrote a list of numbers of this type which he thought were prime, but a few were not. In fact, most of the large Mersenne numbers are not prime, but all the really large numbers that have been proved to be prime are Mersenne Primes.
What has the author M N Huxley written?
M. N. Huxley has written: 'The distribution of prime numbers: large sieves and zero-density theorems' -- subject(s): Numbers, Prime, Prime Numbers
Do large numbers give longer number chains?
Most of the time, but large prime numbers still have only two factors.

Explain Why the Numbers 0 and 1 have no prime factor?
2 is the smallest prime number. Numbers can't have factors larger than themselves. Zero and one aren't large enough to have prime factors.
Why are prime numbers more useful than composite numbers in cryptography?
This question is based on a misunderstanding. Most cryptography is based on numbers that are products of two very large prime numbers. Being the product of two primes means that these numbers are composite - not prime!
