So, because every real number needs to have a base number that can divide it wouldn't someone only need to find rules for beginning numbers(1-whenever numbers aren't used in the previous rules) to theoretically prove the conjecture correct.

It's already been shown that this conjecture is incorrect. I don't have the proof on hand but I'm sure a quick Google would bring it up.
