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 2 to , which are 2, 3, and 5. Each division produces a nonzero remainder, so 37 is indeed prime. Although this method is simple to describe, it is impractical for testing the primality of large integers, because the number of tests that it performs grows exponentially as a function of the number of digits of these integers. However, trial division is still used, with a smaller limit than the square root on the divisor size, to quickly discover composite numbers with small factors, before using more complicated methods on the numbers that pass this filter. Before computers, mathematical tables
