Consecutive numbers will always total an odd number. Consecutive odd numbers or consecutive primes would be 5 and 7.
Yes. The only time this occurs is right at the start of the list of primes: 2, 3.
There are no two consecutive primes whose sum, difference, product or quotient is 56.However, there may be some non-standard binary operation such that two primes can be combined to make 56.
2, 3Those two are consecutive, natural and prime numbers! It's as easy as one, two, three! (Pun intended)
2 and 3 are consecutive prime numbers; therefore, such a concept does exist, but those are the only two consecutive primes. The reason there are not any others: natural numbers alternate between odd and even numbers. When the number is even, then 2 is a factor. The number 2 is the only even prime number (it's only factors are 2 and 1). All other even numbers have factors, in addition to 2 & 1. So if a number is prime, and the number is not 2, then it is an odd number. The two numbers on either side of an odd number are even. So if the prime number is greater than 3, then the two numbers on either side of it will be even numbers, which are not primes.
2,3 and 1 and 2 are the only consecutive primes, as any higher even number has a factor of 2.
The longest string of consecutive numbers that are primes is two digits long, consisting of 2 and 3 only. There are no other consecutive numbers that are primes because no even numbers greater than 2 are primes.
No. Twin primes are two consecutive odd numbers that are prime, such as 17 and 19.

Small distinction. They are the only two consecutive numbers that are prime. 5 and 7, 7 and 11, 11 and 13 and so on are consecutive primes.

The "natural numbers" are the ones you use to count . . . 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. Consecutive natural numbers are two or more of them that occur together as you count, with no holes or spaces in the group. 23, 24, and 25 are consecutive natural numbers. 63 and 64 are consecutive, but 63, 64, and 67 are not.
The numbers 11 and 13 are prime twins. Prime twins are consecutive prime numbers that differ by a difference of two. For example, 3 and 5, 7 and 9 are twin primes.
Any number greater than one can be co-prime. I guess the answer is 49.
