Best Answer

The only one pair of consecutive prime numbers possible are 2 and 3. After these very two numbers, every even number is a multiple of two. Furthermore, after 10, every number ending if five is a multiple of five. So, then no two prime numbers can be consecutive anymore. The span between prime numbers then only get wider and wider as the numbers continue to count upwards.
