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 theorem on primes in arithmetic progressions as a special case. In the theory of finite groups the Sylow theorems imply that, if a power of a prime number formula_195 divides the order of a group, then it has a subgroup of order formula_195. By Lagrange's theorem, any group of prime order is a cyclic group, and by the Burnside theorem any group whose order is divisible by only two primes is solvable. For a long time, number theory in general, and the study of prime numbers in particular, was seen as the canonical example of pure mathematics, with no applications
