Curiosities

1) Relation to multiples of 6: Every prime number greater than 3 is always one less or one more than a multiple of 6.
Example: `101377` is 1 more than `101376` (multiple of 6).

2) Square minus 1 divisible by 24: For every prime number greater than 3, if 1 is subtracted from its square, the result is always divisible by 24.
Example: The square of `101377` is `10277296129`. Subtracting 1, we get `10277296128`. Note that `10277296128 ÷ 24 = 428220672`.

3) Difference of squares: Every prime number greater than 2 can be expressed as the difference of the squares of two consecutive natural numbers.
Example: `101377 = 50689^2 - 50688^2 = 2569374721 - 2569273344`

4) Sum of two squares: Every prime number of the form `4n+1` (where n is a positive natural number) can be expressed as the sum of two squares.
Example: `101377 = 39^2 + 316^2 = 1521 + 99856`, where `101377 = 4 × 25344 + 1`.

5) Form `4n+1` or `4n-1`: Except for the number 2, all prime numbers follow the pattern `4n+1` or `4n-1`, where `n` is a natural number.
Example: `101377` is of the form `4n+1`, where `n = 25344`.
