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: `19139` is 1 less than `19140` (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 `19139` is `366301321`. Subtracting 1, we get `366301320`. Note that `366301320 ÷ 24 = 15262555`.

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: `19139 = 9570^2 - 9569^2 = 91584900 - 91565761`

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: `19139` is of the form `4n-1`, where `n = 4785`.
