Answer:

P = p1p2 pn + 1. The number P has remainder 1 when divided by any prime pi, i = 1,...,n, making it a prime number as long as P ≠ 1. ... Therefore, there are infinitely many prime numbers. Alternatively, one can leave out the assumption and let p1,...,n be any ar- bitrary finite list of prime numbers.
