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: `103963` is 1 more than `103962` (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 `103963` is `10808305369`. Subtracting 1, we get `10808305368`. Note that `10808305368 ÷ 24 = 450346057`.

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: `103963 = 51982^2 - 51981^2 = 2702128324 - 2702024361`

4) 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: `103963` is of the form `4n-1`, where `n = 25991`.
