heres why they are important : prime numbers are the building block for all the other numbers.... one of the very important use is prime factorization is data encryption .. which gives us a kind of "one way" encryption. For example it only lets us convert from  (a) to (b) not (b) to (a). Its kind of because its not really a 1 way... realistically it is not 1 way, we can always find the prime factors of some number it just might take a VERY long time depending on the size of the number and in encryption the numbers are HUGEEe. But if we were to find a formula for generating  primes.. it would be significantly easier for us to check up to say the millionth prime number with a simple loop than check all possible factors of a number  thus at that point the encryption system becomes too weak but (un)fortunately we dont have a formula to generate prime numbers. Prime numbers are also important in many branches of math as it is literally the building blocks of all real numbers.
Funfact: if you could solve the collatz conjecture that will help with understanding prime factorization.

I'm most likely asking for the moon here but I understand why prime numbers are a thing but not the main reason why we are chasing them. There's just examples here of primes and not a true explanation of what's so incredibly important about them and what equation for them could be used for.

This video:

"2 + 2 equals 4. This is important because every 4 years we have a leap year. unless the year can be evenly divided by 100, except if the year can be divided by 400. Notice how 4 x 100 = 400. Also 400 - 100 = 300, like the famous movie. So now you know!"

Thank you bro. I've heard this saying: "May not God lead all the universe. But there's something odd with Prime Numbers" so i wanted to check for that. From your 2 minute video, I've been able to figure it out what that saying said.... Dude, you're amazing....

@VikasPoonia

I don't know the intended audience for this. But I am pretty sure this kind of  explanation can be found in a decent book.

@enkiimuto1041

When you say "congratulations, now you know...", i feel like there should be an achievement sound or something.

@walterbrownstone8017

I'll tell you why. If I make a wooden propeller from 8 wooden blocks, then I need to drill a hole where two blocks join together. Weak. If I make the propeller from an unbreakable prime then I drill through the center of one block of an unbreakable set, which also have a symmetric number do blocks on either side. Strongest.

@Hatchet-Jack

Thanks for the video.  Does anyone have other examples from nature where primes are used?

@omarpasha2968

Very good! I learned something new!

@shakirr6863

Thank you. I'll solve Riemann's hypothesis now

@Wargasm54

So if you’re a cicada or a turbine engine, prime numbers have an obvious importance. Other than that, it’s just something for geeks to ponder.

@reptilian2308

Nice

@stevenlodge4295

It's not answered my question prime numbers are thousands of years old

@magicatno1

Still…. Doesn’t really explain why everyone needs to learn them at school. Lol

@natbirchall1580

Wow that made no sense to me. Why would cicadas have anything to do with prime numbers to me this looks like magical thinking.

@brovid-19

Why are prime numbers important
TELL ME WHY
AIINT NOTHIN BUT A HEART ACHE
TELL ME WHY

@gustavemaxon6310

Write a detailed report explaining the importance of prime numbers within the field of computing by using practical example of application of prime. Cheers

@InshuMussu

At the middle of this video I decided to see comments and having viewed few comments I pressed the back button to for others video.

@6023barath

The video was very informative, fascinating. It was very well made too :)

@alm7707

so no one really knows why they are important.
