Problem

Twenty distinct points are marked on a circle and labeled $1$ through $20$ in clockwise order. A line segment is drawn between every pair of points whose labels differ by a prime number. Find the number of triangles formed whose vertices are among the original $20$ points.

Solution 1

Let $a$, $b$, and $c$ be the vertex of a triangle that satisfies this problem, where $a$ < $b$ < $c$.
