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 correctly if it handled 1 as a prime, because it would eliminate all multiples of 1 (that is, all other numbers) and output only the single number 1. Some other more technical properties of prime numbers also do not hold for the number 1: for instance, the formulas for Euler's totient function or for the sum of divisors function are different for prime numbers than they are for 1. By the early 20th century, mathematicians began to agree that 1 should not be listed as prime, but rather in its own special category as a "unit". Writing a number as
