Prime numbers are whole numbers that are greater than 1 and are only divisible 1 and itself.
Twin prime numbers differ from two like the numbers 5 and 7. Other set of twin prime numbers
are 17 and 19. If you add 1 after multiplying twin primes, the final product will be a perfect
square and the number is a multiple of 36.
Process
I first started out listing the first 100 prime numbers. It was a long process because I had to
make sure they were prime numbers and I wanted to do the work to the best of my ability.
While I was looking for the first 100 prime numbers I had difficulty with it but I completed it.
After I found them I multiplied two different prime numbers and added one. The equation I
used was xy+1=z to figure out the total. Then I would use the z number then divide by 36. If the
number z was a perfect square and a multiple of 36 then the numbers x and y are twin primes.
Solution
The equation that I used, n(n + 1) + 1 with all the problems I listed above, proved to show that
all twin primes are perfect squares and a multiple of 36.
