Not true. After the 1000th decimal place all subsequent numbers are divisible by 2 or 3. Prove me wrong.

Actually, proving that statement false is easy, since we only have to find one counter example, a feat that would only take moments on a computer.

Easy to prove incorrect beyond the 1000th decimal.
Consider “pi” even if you discard the first digit, 3, the remainder is an infinite irrational number and cannot be divided by 2 or 3.

Divisible?
di- a prefix occurring in loanwords from Greek, where it meant two, twice, double (diphthong); on this model, freely used in the formation of compound words (dicotyledon; dipolar) and in chemical terms (diatomic; disulfide).
visible
a : capable of being seen
b : situated in the region of the electromagnetic spectrum perceptible to human vision used of radiation having a wavelength between about 400 nanometers and 700 nanometers
Are you having problems with double vision?

For example, 1009 is a prime number - only divisible by itself and 1.
Etcetera.

Pi is not divisible by 2 or 3.
