Description: Frequency distribution of prime gaps for primes from 2 to 1,600,000,000. Peaks occur at multiples of 6. The primes were obtained from a sieve of Eratosthenes and gap sizes were tallied. The largest gap found was 292. See "Hidden structure in the randomness of the prime number sequence?", S. Ares & M. Castro, 2005
