How can I say "First among many" in Latin?

-Hello. I'd like to know how I can say "First among many" in Latin. I know that "Primus inter pares" means "First among equals". So "Primus inter ..." what?Using masculine, singular forms, "many" is multus (2nd declension), "more" is plus (third declension). Inter takes the accusative many or more would be plural, so

Primus inter multos

or

Primus inter plures



Feminine would be Prima inter multas, Prima inter pluras



This is why you should be careful about using translation programs. But there are some decent Latin grammars on the web.Primoris inter plures

-----------------------------

I hope this is helpful.
According to Google Translate, it's "Primum inter".
