Prime quadruplet 23620, 152141, 1028789, 7188960, 51672312, 381226246, 2873279651 . The constant representing the sum of the reciprocals of all prime quadruplets, Brun's constant for prime quadruplets, denoted by "B", is the sum of the reciprocals of all prime quadruplets: with value: This constant should not be confused with the Brun's constant for cousin primes, prime pairs of the form ("p", "p" + 4), which is also written as "B". The prime quadruplet {11, 13, 17, 19} is alleged to appear on the Ishango bone although this is disputed. Excluding the first prime quadruplet, the shortest possible distance between two quadruplets {"p",
Prime number so is every element in the sequence. Therefore, this progression contains only one prime number, 3 itself. In general, the infinite progression can have more than one prime only when its remainder formula_34 and modulus formula_107 are relatively prime. If they are relatively prime, Dirichlet's theorem on arithmetic progressions asserts that the progression contains infinitely many primes. The Green–Tao theorem shows that there are arbitrarily long finite arithmetic progressions consisting only of primes. Euler noted that the function yields prime numbers for formula_109, although composite numbers appear among its later values. The search for an explanation for this phenomenon led
