Let p(n) denote the n-th prime. If c is a positive integer, there are infinitely many pairs (k,j) such that c divides p(k)-p(j). The set of differences p(k)-p(j) is ordered as a sequence at A204890. Guide to related sequences:
c....k..........j..........p(k)-p(j).[p(k)-p(j)]/c

It appears that, as rectangular array, this sequence can be described by A(n,k) is the least m such that there are k primes in the set prime(n) + 2*i for {i=1..n}. - Michel Marcus, Mar 29 2023

EXAMPLE
|
Writing prime(k) as p(k),
p(3)-p(2)=5-3=2
p(4)-p(2)=7-3=4
p(4)-p(3)=7-5=2
p(5)-p(2)=11-3=8
p(5)-p(3)=11-5=6
p(5)-p(4)=11-7=4,
so that the first 6 terms of A205558 are 1,2,1,4,3,2.
The sequence can be regarded as a rectangular array in which row n is given by [prime(n+2+k)-prime(n+1)]/2; a northwest corner follows:
1...2...4...5...7...8....10...13...14...17...19...20
1...3...4...6...7...9....12...13...16...18...19...21
2...3...5...6...8...11...12...15...17...18...20...23
1...3...4...6...9...10...13...15...16...18...21...24
2...3...5...8...9...12...14...15...17...20...23...24
1...3...6...7...10..12...13...15...18...21...22...25
2...5...6...9...11..12...14...17...20...21...24...26
