As we often find in the world of mathematics, certain equations, numbers, or variables

often make up rules. Twin Primes are an example of one of these certain rules. Twin Primes are

basically any two numbers with a difference of 2, whose combined product (And an added value

of one) create a number with a perfect square root. When you get this perfect square, it will

always be a multiple of 36 (Except 3 and 5). Our goal was to find an equation that works for

each set, and why this is.

When deciding where to start the process of finding the first 10 pairs of twin prime

numbers, as well as 10 pairs of non-twin prime numbers, I knew I had to start with finding a

couple of numbers with perfect square roots. I tried four and nine and found no two numbers

that quite worked. Whenever I plugged in 16, however, I found that the product of three and five

plus an additive of one came to equal 16. This was an eye-opener for me. I realized that when

you take any perfect square root (Excluding 16), such as 36, and divide it by the square root of

the two numbers that make it up (for example with 36, you would take the square root of five and

the square root of 7, and if u added them up you would get a perfect square root. You can use

this to solve any of the numbers.

In conclusion, when we look deeper at this mathematical phenomenon, we can decipher

why this rare equation works for any twin prime number. It is extremely interesting to see a

solution so unique, for such a truly simple reason.
