Problem Statement

The Problem Set tells of Twin Primes. The way Twin Primes work is by first choosing two prime
numbers (except 3 and 5) that’re two apart. Next, those prime numbers are to be multiplied and
then add 1 to the product. The product+1 should end being a perfect square and should also be a
multiple of 36. This Problem Set is set to prove this equation is true.

Process
As I started to begin my work on twin primes I started by writing down the first 100 prime
numbers. This part was incredibly annoying because I had to check every single number to find
the first 100 primes. After finding the first 100 prime numbers I soon began multiplying two
different prime numbers plus one. I used the equation n(n+2) +1=t to solve for the total between
the prime numbers. Then I checked to see if the total was a perfect square and a multiple of 36.
n n(n+2) +1 answer
29 29(29+2) +1 900= 30 squared
29(31) +1 900/36= 25
5 5(5+7) +1 36= 6 squared
5(7) +1 36/36=1
17 17(17+2) +1 324= 18 squared
17+(19) +1 324/36=9
41 41(41+2) +1 1764= 42 squared
41(43) +1 1764/36=49
71 71(71+2) +1 5184=72 squared and
71(73) +1 5184/36=144
59 59(59+2) +1 3600=60 squared
59(61) +1 3600/36= 100
191 191(191+2) +1 36864 = 192 squared
191(193) +1 36864/36= 1024
161 161(161+2) +1 26244=162 squared
161(163) +1 26244/36= 729
221 221(221+2) +1 49284= 222 squared
221(223) +1
179 179(179+2) +1 32400= 180 squared
179(181) +1 32400/36=900
101 101(101+2) +1 10404= 102 squared
101(103) +1 10404/36= 289
In the chart, the equation proves to be accurate to finding twin primes.

Solution
Thanks to the equation n(n+1)+1 with the examples that were used it proved that the product+1
of the twin primes are perfect squares and multiples of 36.
