【 摘 要 】

Problem statement: The study of prime numbers is important today as it was in ancient times. The level of interest in any form of mathematics of students in Australian high schools is decreasing and furthermore the level of interest in number theory is also less that it was before; prime numbers is not being considered as an area of interest by our younger stars. This paper explores prime numbers and attempts to show some interesting aspects in the study of primes that highlight why number theory studies can be considered important for today
