to prove this its very easy as long as numbers never end the prime numbers will be infinitve
hope this helps
Assume a finite number of primes p,p1,p2,p3.....pn. Derive a contradiction.
proof by contradiction. suppose there are finitely many. then list them, say they are \[p_1,p_2,...,p_n\] and consider the number \[m=p_1\times p_2\times ...\times p_n+1\] it clearly leaves a remainder of 1 when divided by each prime, so it is either prime or divisible by some larger prime not in the list.
euclid, 300 b.c.
