Assume the numbers 1-9 are all interesting. The number 10 would be "not interesting". The fact that it's the first "non-interesting" number is pretty interesting.
Using this logic, any first non-interesting number would be "interesting".

You proved that there is not any greatest integer. You assumed the existence of the biggest integer and built a form greater advantageous than it.subsequently u proved there is not any greatest integer.for the reason that a greatest integer would not exist we can not tutor that a million is the biggest integer.

Each positive integer can be decomposed into only one set of primes.

This is true no matter how large the integer is.

It is the fundamental theorem of arithmetic
