Hey! Because there exists an infinite number of numbers, there are also an infinite number of prime numbers. There is a computer running right now, generating prime numbers. It made the news about a month ago because it had discovered a prime that was thousands of digits long. There is also a proof that proves there is an infinite number of primes. Hope that helps!

A Japanese mathematician found out the largest prime number with the help of a CRAY mainframe. He published the number in
his book of 800 pages and this book is considered to be the most boring book in the world.
