Interprime

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In mathematics, an interprime is the average of two consecutive odd primes. For example, 9 is an interprime because it is the average of 7 and 11. The first interprimes are:

4, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 26, 30, 34, 39, 42, 45, 50, 56, 60, 64, 69, 72, 76, 81, 86, 93, 99 ... (sequence A024675 in OEIS)

Interprimes cannot be prime themselves (otherwise the primes would not have been consecutive).
