Abstract

The authors consider a conjecture by Chebyshev in 1853 on the distribution of odd primes among those that are one more than a multiple of four and those three more than a multiple of four—and use technology to explore the cardinality of these subsets. Generalizations are presented for student exploration along with several sources for more in-depth research.
