Is this where you have 1+2+3+. . . +4n+3?

anonymous · Answer

well, assume there are only finite

then show that if you combine all (4n+3) primes together, and probably add/subtract 1, you create a new prime not in your list

thus, there must be infinite primes

anonymous · Answer

But in this case it would 1,3,5,7,11,13,17 and so on.

ok

anonymous · Answer

like, for instance, assume 4n+3 only holds true for values n <= 10

however, if you combine the numbers 4n+3 together, you notice you will (eventually) create another prime larger than n<=100, meaning there must be more primes beyond n <=100

woops, the two last 100's should be 10s
