About Twin Primes

Twin Prime Conjecture

There are infinitely many twin primes. This conjecture remains unproven, though Yitang Zhang proved in 2013 that there are infinitely many prime pairs within 70 million of each other.

Frequently Asked Questions

Calculations use JavaScript's built-in Math functions with double-precision floating-point arithmetic, providing approximately 15 significant digits of accuracy. Displayed values are rounded to four decimal places for readability while maintaining sufficient precision for most applications.
This is a web-based calculator that requires an internet connection to load. Once loaded, all calculations are performed client-side in your browser, so no data is sent to any server.
The calculator is unit-agnostic — enter your values in any consistent unit system (metric or imperial), and results will be in the corresponding units. Mixing unit systems will produce incorrect results.
Yes, this calculator is completely free with no registration required. Use it as many times as you need for homework, professional work, or personal projects.
