Prime numbers are the basic building blocks of Mathematics. Just like every known substance in this universe is made of basic ingredients (elements like H, N, C, O), similarly every number can be constructed from prime numbers.

Pick any random number say, 1224142002. This number can be entirely constructed from Prime numbers.

1224142002 = 2 * 3 * 3 * 41 * 859 * 1931

where 2, 3, 41, 859 and 1931 are all prime numbers.

My date of birth is 31st Dec 1975. It happens to be a prime number if expressed in the form YYYY/MM/DD !!

19751231 is a prime number.

Does that mean something? I guess I must be really special, although I don't think that I have done anything useful in my entire life :)
