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: `18341` is 1 less than `18342` (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 `18341` is `336392281`. Subtracting 1, we get `336392280`. Note that `336392280 ÷ 24 = 14016345`.

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: `18341 = 9171^2 - 9170^2 = 84107241 - 84088900`

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: `18341 = 79^2 + 110^2 = 6241 + 12100`, where `18341 = 4 × 4585 + 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: `18341` is of the form `4n+1`, where `n = 4585`.
