Marcsine: How Many Primes Are There? - Duration: 3:01.
♪ ♪ ♪
Prime numbers are everywhere.
You're walking down the street,
minding your own business, when
BAM!
Hey, are you a
prime number-
No.
Can I see some ID?
Oh, well, uh, y-uh, y-
You see, officer, that's a-
That's a very-very complicated matter for me
'Cause I, I uh...
I-I lost it, uh...
I-I lost my ID, uh...
Um, uh-
Can you show me some of your factors, sir?
My-my factors! Uh, well, uh
That's-that's pretty easy, 'cause
I, uh...
I, uh have this, uh, this calculator
Haha...uh, so I can just
Easily verify that, uh...
Well, I mean, uh...
Obviously, I could-you could divide by one,
Haha, uh, but, uh, I mean
What would that even...
I-I'm having a bit of difficulty
finding, uh, the factors, uh...
H-hey, uh, o-o-officer.
do you- do you see something there?
He's prime.
Take him out.
Good riddance.

So, maybe, at one time, you've wondered
what the largest prime number is,
or, how many prime numbers there are.
And, keep in mind,
We know that there are a lot of prime numbers,
like,
a LOT of prime numbers.
But, are there
Infinite prime numbers?
Well luckily, my boi Euclid
back in the B.C.
already figured this out.
In fact, he created one of the
simplest and most elegant proofs in mathematics
to find the answer.
So, let's dive right into the proof.

Alright, so let's start with
All the prime numbers we know up to this point.
So, let's start by multiplying all these prime numbers together,
to get a number, which,
by definition,
is a multiple of all these prime numbers
Now we can add one to this number,
making it a multiple of none of the prime numbers we have,
because,
if you divide this number
by one of the primes we have,
we'll always get a remainder of one.
That means that none of these prime numbers
are a factor of this number.
So, what if we found this number's prime factors?
Well, there are
two possibilities.
Either this number itself is a new prime number,
which,
there we go,
we found a new prime number,
or it has entirely new prime factors.
Do you see what we just did?
We took an arbitrarily long list
of prime numbers
and expanded it.
We could've done this with
any list of primes and said
BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!
So if we can keep on generating
new prime numbers indefinitely,
that must mean there are
indefinite prime numbers.
Boom!
We did it!
We proved that there are an
infinite number of primes!
Now you too are
finna woke.
As the video wraps up,
it's time for another fun fact.
Lawnmowers are loud by design
to drown out the
screams of the grass.
And as always,
Thanks for watching.
