There are 4 prime numbers between 10 and 20; 11,13,17, and 19. Are there always the same number of prime numbers between 2 consecutive multiples of 10? Explain.

The prime numbers between 20 and 30 are: 23, 29

So there are 2 prime numbers this time, instead of 4.

So this proves that there aren't the same number of prime numbers between 2 consecutive multiples of 10.
