Are primes extendable to the reals?

It seems like there should be real numbers that do not have factors other than themselves and one. My reasoning:
if x * y = z,
Then we can have an ė, (x + kė) * (y + kė) = z + ė, where k > 0, k < 1, ė > 0
However, as ė->0, then kė vanishes slower, so z + ė should increase, but it can't, because ė is vanishing. This, there must be real numbers that don't have other factors.

Fields have no (proper) ideals.

Any field which is an extension of the rationals does not conform to the idea that there are numbers having only themselves and one as factors. Proof:

Given a field F, which is an extension of, or itself, the rationals, and a number x in F.
2 is in F, x is in F, thus x/2 is in F.
Thus x can be factorised into (x/2)*2

Don't change these.
