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: `27091` is 1 more than `27090` (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 `27091` is `733922281`. Subtracting 1, we get `733922280`. Note that `733922280 ÷ 24 = 30580095`.

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: `27091 = 13546^2 - 13545^2 = 183494116 - 183467025`

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: `27091` is of the form `4n-1`, where `n = 6773`.
