Prime number few weeks at most. Biologists theorize that these prime-numbered breeding cycle lengths have evolved in order to prevent predators from synchronizing with these cycles. In contrast, the multi-year periods between flowering in bamboo plants are hypothesized to be smooth numbers, having only small prime numbers in their factorizations. Prime numbers have influenced many artists and writers. The French composer Olivier Messiaen used prime numbers to create ametrical music through "natural phenomena". In works such as "La Nativité du Seigneur" (1935) and "Quatre études de rythme" (1949–50), he simultaneously employs motifs with lengths given by different prime numbers to create unpredictable
