Abstract
The first occurrence of a string of 2r - 1
composite numbers between two primes
(denoted by f(r) and f(r) + 2r)
is tabulated for
f(r) in the range
2.6 × 1012
< f(r) < 4.444 × 1012.
This extends earlier computations in the range
f(r) < 2.6 × 1012.
Comments
A continuation of Brent
[19]
to 4.444 × 1012.
