In proving that there are infinitely many primes, we assume there is a finite set of all primes {p1,p2,…,pn}\{p_1, p_2, \dots, p_n\}{p1​,p2​,…,pn​}. We then consider the number P=(p1p2…pn)+1P = (p_1 p_2 \dots p_n) + 1P=(p1​p2​…pn​)+1. If PPP is not prime itself, what must be true about its prime factors?
