Give the greatest gap between the primes up to the argument
ResourceFunction["LargestPrimeGap"][arg] gives the largest difference between primes up to arg, which must be at least 3. |
Here are the primes up to 13:
In[1]:= |
Out[1]= |
The largest gap is between 7 and 11:
In[2]:= |
Out[2]= |
The function is nondecreasing:
In[3]:= |
Out[3]= |
Although the gaps are unbounded, they rise slowly:
In[4]:= |
Out[4]= |
