الملخص:Although the number of primes is infinite, one can still find as many consecutive integers as one pleases. This study concerns itself with sets of consecutive integers. Regions of n consecutive composite integers where no prime is present are called prime desert n-tuplets. In order for a prime desert of length k to exist, k must be odd. The existence of prime desert twins and triplets of length k implies that k = 5(mod 6). Moreover, for prime desert quadruplets and quintuplets of length k to exist, k = 29(mod 30). This paper also provides a computer program which will generate all possible prime desert n-tuplets. However, the language is up to maximum value of 2,147,483,647.
