2 Proof. Proof. 1 Suppose p were the largest prime number. 1 Suppose p were the largest prime number. 2 Let q be the product of the first p numbers. 2 Let q be the product of the first p numbers. 3 Then q + 1 is not divisible by any of them. 3 Then q + 1 is not divisible by any of them. 4 Thus q + 1 is also prime and greater than p. 4 Thus q + 1 is also prime and greater than p. 1.
