Statements:
x is an integer
x is a prime number if x doesn't consist of any prime factors ≤√x
Proof:
Since (√x + 1) * (√x + 1) > √x * √x
x must be a prime
Questions:
Whould you consider this a non-rigorous direct proof?
If not, what does it lack?
Is this a good approach trying to prove it?
The proof was meant to be like this:
Since √(x + 1) * √(x + 1) > √x * √x
x must be a prime
