Problem Statement: A prime number is a whole integer that is greater than 1 and it is
only divisible by the whole number of 1 and itself. For example, 23. When two prime
numbers are two apart the numbers are called twin primes. For example, 5 and 7. For
any pair of twin primes other than 3 and 5, they can be multiplied and have one added to
it in order to have the two properties of the number being a perfect square and a multiple
of 36.
2. Process: To start I listed prime numbers from 3-139 and began to pair them. Then I
multiplied and added 1 to find my result and in the chart below you can see how I did the
math and worked out the problems. A pattern I found other than in 3,5 is that they all
were perfect squares and were a multiple of 36. This part was an easier procedure
because it was explained in class but the other part was harder, with the non-twin primes.
At first I was confused and was not sure how to find the result to even be able to continue
to get the perfect squares and then to see if it was a multiple of 36. As for the non-twin
primes, I understood it in class when Mr. Harris explained it to us and it all clicked but
before I was unsure on how to get to where I needed to.

3. Conclusion: In conclusion of working with prime numbers that were not twin primes
and that were twin primes finding that all twin-primes that the equation will be the
One prime number x the other prime number + 1 and it will get you the result in order
to begin to solve, and by testing this equation with many examples it all worked with
the twin prime numbers but when it came to the non-twin prime it did work to get a
result just not the get the perfect square and the multiple of 36.
