prime number puzzle:
Consider the prime set (11,13) (17,19) (29,31).....and so on.
which have one number between them.
prove that the number is divisible by 6.
Proof:
For any given 3 consecutive numbers one of them is
divisible by 3.
each given prime set have an even number in between.
By definition primes are only divisible 1 and itself.
so, the missed number is divisible by 3. since it is also even it
is divisible by 2.
