Geezezflord, isn't it so that 10/2 = 5 where 5 is prime, or 14/2 = 7 where 7 is prime? What do you mean by "Any X/2 can't be a prime number?" And where does that X come from, anyway? There is no expression like "X = n>2"; it lacks any meaning. I think you are advancing the science of mathematics the wrong way. LOL.X = n>2
Any X/2 can't be a prime number , because a prime number can be divided only by 1 or by itself (A prime number (or a prime) is a natural number that has exactly two distinct natural number divisors: 1 and itself. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_number )).
Let us concentrate . . .
(n/2)*(n + 1) = r
n=2: (2/2)*(2 + 1) = 3 = 1 + 2 [3 is prime]
n=3: (3/2)*(3 + 1) = 6 = 1 + 2 + 3
n=4: (4/2)*(4 + 1) = 10 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4
n=5: (5/2)*(5 + 1) = 15 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5
n=6: (6/2)*(6 + 1) = 21 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6

No more primes. 3 is the only prime in the sequence and has no prime successor. So 3 = Fullness, or Foolness -- the way things have been going.
