Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Lower bound on a straddle prime pair.
%C Straddle primes that occur only once on either side of the composite number are lower and upper twin primes respectively.
%F Straddle primes are the nearest primes preceding and following a composite number n.
%e The first straddle prime pair is 3 and 5 which straddle the composite number 4.
