Prime Numbers

Christopher makes a very interesting point when he states, “Prime numbers are what is left when you have taken all the numbers away. I think prime numbers are like life. They are very logical, but you could never work out the rules, even if you spent all your time thinking about them.” Prime numbers and life are two things that I don’t see compared to often, but I kind of agree that they could be alike in some ways.
Christopher says that life and prime numbers are both logical. I agree with this because a prime number, is a prime number.  There is nothing you can do to change it. Numbers are either prime or composite. Also life is logical too. Everyone is born, everyone grows up and gets old, and then dies. That’s is just the way it works for both life and prime numbers. There are no questions about either things. Also, when Christopher says “you can never work out all the rules, even if you spend all your time thinking about them,” he is also right. You can spend all the time in the world, driving yourself crazy, trying to figure out a eaiser way to figure out if a number is prime or not, but it isn’t going to work. The only way to figure it out, is if the number is only divisible by one and itself. This holds true about life as well. There are people who try and figure out how this world works, and the rules of life, but there isn’t one idea that is the same for every person. It’s to complex.
