There are no fixed differences. In fact, gaps between successive primes can be arbitrarily large. As of 2014, the largest prime gap between proven primes is 1,113,106. The two successive primes at either end have 18662 digits each. A larger gap, of 3,311,852 numbers between probable primes has been conjectured.

Can two consecutive whole numbers whole numbers be prime?

The only two consecutive whole numbers that are prime numbers are 2 and 3. Otherwise, every second consecutive whole number in sequence is even, and being multiples of 2, they cannot be prime.


What is the decimal point between 28.3 28.4?

There is a decimal point in each of the two given numbers and in every one of infinitely many decimal numbers between these two.


Can you express every odd prime number as the difference of two squares?

Every odd number greater than one is the difference of two squares. This includes all the odd prime numbers. To find the two numbers whose difference of squares equals a particular odd number, divide the odd number by 2. The two numbers are the integers immediately below and above that dividend. For example, 17 is the difference of two squares. Divide 17 by 2 and get 8.5. The two numbers are 8 and 9. 92 - 82 = 81 - 64 = 17.


What are the even numbers below 100?

The get a list of all even numbers, write the number 2, then slip the next number (3) and write the number 4. Continue by skipping every other number, which will be the odd numbers. Alternatively, write a consecutive list of all of the numbers from 1 to 50, then multiply each one by 2. The products are all of the multiples of 2, which are even numbers.


What are the cube numbers between 30 and 50?

none 3 x 3 x 3 = 27 4 x 4 x 4 = 64 ---------------------------- Every number has a cube root, just most of them are not whole numbers, so every number between 30 and 50 is a cube. If you meant what the perfect cube numbers (ie the cubes of whole numbers) between 30 and 50, then the answer is, as above, none.

Why can there never be a pair of consecutive prime numbers that are both prime?

If you mean consecutive numbers that are prime? than the answer is 2,3 are consecutive numbers which are prime. except for this pair it is impossible for consecutive numbers to be prime because every second number is multiple of 2


Can 2 consecutive numbers in prime factorization be prime?

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.


What is the number of non-square numbers between 2 consecutive numbers?

There is no such thing as consecutive numbers because numbers are infinitely dense. Between any two numbers there is another and so there is no such thing as a "next" number.There are no integers (square or non-square) between any two consecutive integers. There are infinitely many numbers between any two consecutive integers and, if the integers are non-negative, every one of these will be a square of some number so the answer is none. If the integers are negative then the infinitely many numbers will have a square root in the complex field but not in real numbers. In this case the answer is either none or infinitely many, depending on the domain.


Why is 2 and 3 the only consecutive prime numbers?

Because every other set of primes has at least one even number between them.
