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",
17 (number) the only prime number which is the sum of four consecutive primes (2,3,5,7). Any other four consecutive primes summed would always produce an even number, thereby divisible by 2 and so not prime. In Catalan, 17 is the first compound number ("disset"). The numbers 11 ("onze") through 16 ("setze") have their own names. In French, 17 is the first compound number ("dix-sept"). The numbers 11 ("onze") through 16 ("seize") have their own names. In Italian, 17 is also the first compound number ("diciassette"), whereas sixteen is "sedici". Seventeen is: 17 (number) 17 (seventeen) is the natural number following 16 and
