CPAP-2

A CPAP-2 is by definition any pair of consecutive primes.
There are infinitely many primes and thus infinitely many CPAP-2.
On this page, I collected some largest known Prime Twins, Cousin Primes, Sexy Prime Pairs & largest known gap between two proven primes.
Only proved primes are allowed.
