Prime numbers are similar to life in certain ways. Like how one may spend a great amount of time finding a prime number, one may spend a great amount of time finding his/her own life answers. Also, finding out the rules that regulate one's life is as difficult as finding the rules that regulate prime numbers. The process used to find prime numbers (seeing what numbers have more than two factors by dividing a number by a variety of integers) is similar to finding out some of life's answers (testing out many theories in order to find facts and answers).
On the other hand, there are ways in which prime numbers are not similar to life. You cannot remove life's patterns all the time like you can in numbers in order to find a prime number. Also, life doesn't have two factors like a prime number. Finally, a prime number is simple, but life is very complex.
