See now what I don't get is why not being dividable by anything except one and itself makes a prime number special. Sure, it makes it different, but why is it special? Is it more useful than other numbers?
16 can be divided in all sorts of ways, isn't that better?
the thing is that only being able to divide them by 1 and themself effectively means that you cannot divide them at all, they cannot be broken down so are considered as the building blocks of mathematics |

But the prime numbers weren't useful until relatively recently.
They were to the cicadas. |

No matter how many times you multiply the number 9, the answer will add up to 9. That's interesting. (Unless you're a cicada)
