Why are mathematicians so obsessed with finding a pattern for prime numbers? How does it benefit humanity?

They aren't. There definitionally can't be. There can be patterns *within* primes, but not for them.

I have found a pattern. All primes are divisible by exactly 4 integers.

It benefits those of us who work with radio frequencies/EM and I think most people would say we benefit humanity unless they are really big on "5G gives you cancer" or something. If we got to the point where we just had a single equation to watch out for, it would make a number of systems more reliable.

RSA encryption relies on large numbers not being "easily" factored into a product of primes. If there's a pattern then whoever finds it breaks RSA.

The zeroes of the Reimann Zeta function generate the prime counting function

Mathematicians are essentialy playing a game for the fun of it, nothing to do with helping people.

>Why
Because each higher prime creates a new pattern which disrupts any pattern in all lower primes. 3 is prime because it's not divisible by 2. 5 is prime because it's not divisible by 2 and 3. And so on and so forth. It'd be like finding a pattern in the digits of pi.

I said there's no patterns for primes. I didn't say there's no pattern in the frequency of primes.

Frequency of primes over what range? If it approaches the prime counting function with arbitrary precision, I don't see the difference between that function for the "frequency of primes" and the primes themselves. Unless you mean something different by patterns in the primes?

131 = prime
1331 = not prime
13331 = prime
133331 = not prime
1333331 = prime
13333331 = not prime
Etc...

since when did humanity benefit mathematicians more than we benefitted them?
maybe shut the fuck up if we want to playing with prime numbers you fucking baboon
don't even try to bother understanding us or worse rationalize us with the ratios of apes.

stupid. there is an exact formula for primes. search it up.

Nobody knows how maths benefit us in the future because then itd be the present

Number theory is vast and applicable to many fields of math. You can draw connections to calculus for example. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ana

What? You're still looking for it dumbasses? There's and algo that generates primenumbers in order, without division, it just takes previous numbers from since when last "censored special event" occured in their differential analysis, and produces every prime number.
People ignored it when I made it. Fuck you very much, fuck you too.

As an aside, many concepts of math were discovered before they had any “real” use. Matrices for example have been around for ages and perhaps the first real life use (beyond solving linear systems) came with quantum mechanics.
