find all arithmetic progression with a difference 10 formed of more than two primes.
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
d = 10
let n =3 first A.P
then (n + a d) = 2nd A.P
the value of a must not be multiple of 3 so we can say that a= 0,1, 2 is possible.
So A1 = (3 + o)=3
A2 = (3 + 10)=13
A3 = (3 +20) = 23
so these three number is all arthimetic progression with a difference 10 formed of more than two primes.
Given : arithmetic progression with a difference 10 formed of more than two primes.
To Find : all such cases
Solution:
3 , 13 , 23 is arithmetic progression with a difference 10 formed of more than two primes.
for numbers greater than 3 prime numbers are of form
6q - 1 , 6q + 1
Let say 6q - 1 is 1st prime number then next will be
6q - 1 + 10
= 6q + 9
= 3(q + 3) hence not a prime number
Let say 6q + 1 is 1st prime number then next two will be
6q + 1 + 10 , 6q + 1 + 20
= 6q + 11 , 6q + 21
= 6*(q + 2) - 1 , 3(2q + 7)
= 6k - 1 , while 3(2q + 7) not a prime number
Hence more than two primes are not possible
so only combination is 3 , 13 , 23
