Question 14

Prove by contradiction that there are infinitely many prime numbers, using

N=(p1×p2×p3×⋯×pn)+k, N=(p_1\times p_2\times p_3\times\dots\times p_n)+k, N=(p1​×p2​×p3​×⋯×pn​)+k,

where k k\,k is a positive integer such that gcd⁡(k,pi)=1\gcd(k,p_i)=1gcd(k,pi​)=1 for i=1,2,…,ni=1,2,\dots,ni=1,2,…,n.
