Legendre's Conjecture concerns the distribution of Prime Numbersplugin-autotooltip__plain plugin-autotooltip_bigPrime Numbers

Since all other whole numbers (except 0) can be produced by multiplying together primes – they must be considered fundamental.

(1), 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31 &etc

There are an infinite number of primes - as proved by Euclid around 300B.C. (…

It asks : “Is there is a prime number between n² and (n + 1)² for every positive integer n. squares?”

It was first presented by French mathematician Adrien-Marie Legendre in the early 1800s - and to date has neither been proved or disproved.

Oppermann's Conjecture concerns the distribution of Prime Numbers.

It was first suggested in 1877, and has not been proved or disproved since then.

The conjecture states that : for every integer x > 1, there is at least one prime number between
