twinprime
In number theory, a twin prime is a pair of prime numbers that differ by 2. If p is prime and p+2 is also prime, then (p, p+2) is a twin prime pair. The smaller member is typically called the twin prime, and the larger its mate.
Examples of twin primes include (3,5), (5,7), (11,13), (17,19), (29,31), and (41,43). Note that twin prime pairs
The central question about twin primes is whether there are infinitely many of them. This is known
As of recent years, the infinitude of twin primes remains unproven. Substantial progress has been made in
