Twin prime numbers: A twin prime is a

A twin prime is a prime number that is either 2 less or 2 more than another prime number—for example, either member of the twin prime pair (17, 19) or (41, 43). Twin primes are pairs of primes of the form ( , ) with . Learn about the twin prime conjecture, Brun's theorem, the twin prime constant, and the largest known twin primes. A Twin prime are those numbers which are prime and having a difference of two ( 2 ) between the two prime numbers. In other words, a twin prime is a prime that has a prime gap of two. To determine if two numbers are twin primes, you need to check if both numbers are prime and if their difference is equal to 2. Verifying if the numbers are both prime and if their difference is precisely two then we can call the two numbers twin primes.
