A number $(n)$ has a set of prime factors $\{\alpha_1, \alpha_2,...\alpha_\epsilon\}$ and a number $(n+1)$ has a set of prime factors $\{\beta_1,\beta_2,...\beta_\psi\}$. The conjunction, $\{\alpha_1,\alpha_2,...\alpha_\epsilon\}\cap\{\beta_1,\beta_2,...\beta_\psi\}$ = $\emptyset$. What is the proof?

Suppose $\alpha_{i}=\beta_{j}=p$ for some $i,j$. Then, $p$ divides $n$ and $n+1$. Consequently, $p$ divides the difference $(n+1)-n=1$. But this is impossible since $p\geq 2$.
