What Are Twin Primes?

šŸ’” The Answer

  • Twin primes are pairs of primes that differ by exactly 2.
  • Examples include (3,5), (11,13), and (41,43).
  • It is conjectured there are infinitely many such pairs, but unproven.
  • Brun's theorem shows the sum of reciprocals of twin primes converges.
