Numbers go on to infinity so there is no way to say that there is a largest number.

The largest natural number that is actually used is "Graham's number" which is used in field of math known as Ramsey theory.

There is no largest number. However, there is a largest finite named number in Googology named Sam’s Number. This number however is not well defined, and it still doesn’t stop there.

There is no way for there to be a largest number at all, since numbers are infinite and go on forever.

How to find the range of numbers?

Subtract the smallest number from the largest number and you will get the distance from the smallest number to the largest number. That is the range. Ex: {-2 -4 -6 3 6 7 12} Smallest number is -6, largest number is 12. 12- (-6) = 12 + 6 = 18. The distance from the smallest number to the largest is 16


What is the highest prime factor?

As of 2013, the largest known prime number is 257,885,161 − 1. It is 17,425,170 digits long. There is no largest prime, there is only the largest number that has been shown to be prime. There has been a mathematical proof that no number can be the largest prime since the time of Euclid. No matter how large a prime number is discovered, a larger one exists. The problem is that the larger the primes get, the rarer they get. Just picking a number at random with 20 million digits will almost certainly produce a nonprime number. That is why there are various formulas to give good guesses for prime numbers. The formula for Mersenne numbers Mn=2n − 1. Not all Mersenne numbes are prime, but they have been shown to be good guesses. 257,885,161 − 1 is the 48th Mersenne prime discovered. A Mersenne prime is named after the French monk Marin Mersenne who studied prime numbers in the 17th century.This Mersenne prime and the previous 9 record primes were discovered by the "Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search" (GIMPS), a distributed computing project on the Internet operated just for the purpose of finding Mersenne prime.
