The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how the modified Sieve of Eratosthenes is used to have an approach to twin prime conjecture. If the Sieve is used in its basic form, it does not produce anything new. If it is used through the numerical analysis method explained in this paper, we obtain a specific counting of twin primes. This counting is based on the false assumption that distribution of primes follows punctually the Logarithmic Integral function denoted as Li(x) (see [5] and [10], pp. 174–176). It may be a starting point for future research based on this numerical analysis method technique that can be used in other mathematical branches.
