The Polignac prime conjecture, was made by Alphonse de Polignac in 1849. Alphonse de Polignac (1826 — 1863) was a French mathematician whose father, Jules de Polignac (1780-1847) was prime minister of Charles X until the Bourbon dynasty was overthrown in1830. Polignac attended the École Polytechnique (commonly known as Polytechnique) a French public institution of higher education and research, located in Palaiseau near Paris. In 1849, the year Alphonse de Polignac was admitted to Polytechnique, he made what's known as Polignac's conjecture:For every positive integer k, there are infinitely many prime gaps of size 2k.Alphonse de Polignac made other significant contributions to number theory, including the de Polignac's formula, which gives the prime factorization of n!, the factorial of n, where n ≥ 1 is a positive integer.This paper presents a complete and exhaustive proof of the Polignac Prime Conjecture. The approach to this proof uses same logic that Euclid used to prove there are an infinite number of prime numbers.
