In this article, we show a generalization of Clement's theorem on the pair of primes. For any integers n and k, integers n and n + 2k are a pair of primes if and only if 2k(2k)![(n - 1)! + 1] + ((2k)! - 1)n ${\equiv}$ 0 (mod n(n + 2k)) whenever (n, (2k)!) = (n + 2k, (2k)!) = 1. Especially, n or n + 2k is a composite number, a pair (n, n + 2k), for which 2k(2k)![(n - 1)! + 1] + ((2k)! - 1)n ${\equiv}$ 0 (mod n(n + 2k)) is called a pair of pseudoprimes for any positive integer k. We have pairs of pseudorimes (n, n + 2k) with $n{\leq}5{\times}10^4$ for each positive integer $k(4{\leq}k{\leq}10)$.
