How can you guarantee that you can have 1,000,000 consecutive composite(non-prime) numbers?

And what would be the 1st such number? Thanks for help.

Well, we can have 1,000,000 consective composite numbers as follows:

1,000,001! + 2

1,000,001! + 3

1,000,001! + 4...........and so on till.....

1,000,001! + 999,999

1,000,001! + 1,000,000

1,000,001! + 1,000,001

Does this make sense to you?
