Why are prime numbers so important

QuantMarkov on Instagram: "🧠 Why Are Prime Numbers So Important? πŸ”Ή 1. Building Blocks of Numbers Every number is made from primes! Just like atoms build matter, primes build all natural numbers. πŸ”Ή 2. Unbreakable Patterns They don't follow easy rules—making them mysterious and fascinating for mathematicians. πŸ”Ή 3. Backbone of Cryptography πŸ” Your online banking, passwords, and data security rely on the difficulty of factoring large primes. πŸ”Ή 4. Used in Nature & Tech From sunflower spirals to signal processing—primes are everywhere. πŸ”Ή 5. Quant Finance πŸ’Ή Primes help in creating pseudo-random number generators, essential for Monte Carlo simulations in option pricing and risk models. πŸ”Ή 6. Infinite & Irregular There are infinitely many primes, but no formula predicts them all. That's why they're still being studied! ✨ Prime numbers aren't just math—they're magic hiding in plain sight. #crypto #cryptocurrency #bitcoin #blockchain #ethereum #cryptotrading #university #wallstreet
