Twin prime

From Prime-Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

A twin prime is a prime number that differs from another prime number by two, for example the twin prime pair (41, 43).

It is not known whether there exist infinitely many twin primes. But it is known that the sum of the reciprocals of all twin primes converges to Brun's constant (about 1.902160583104).
