A309374 Numbers k such that k+j is prime for every j, where 1 <= j < k and gcd(j,k) = 1. 0

%I #13 May 15 2020 06:43:21

%S 2,4,6,10,12

%N Numbers k such that k+j is prime for every j, where 1 <= j < k and gcd(j,k) = 1.

%C It was conjectured by Recamán Santos in 1976 and proved by Hausman and Shapiro in 1978 that 12 is the largest k possible.

%C Pomerance & Penney (1977) reported in a letter that they have proved that the conjecture is true. - _Amiram Eldar_, May 15 2020

%e For k = 12 the numbers j are {1,5,7,11} and the numbers k+j are {13,17,19,23}, which are all prime.
