Twin prime

From AoPSWiki

(Redirected from Twin primes)

Twin primes are pairs of prime numbers of the form p and p+2. The first few pairs of twin primes are (3, 5), (5, 7), (11, 13), (17, 19), (29, 31), and so on. Just as with the primes themselves, twin primes become more and more sparse as one looks at larger and larger numbers.
