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: `30341` is 1 less than `30342` (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 `30341` is `920576281`. Subtracting 1, we get `920576280`. Note that `920576280 ÷ 24 = 38357345`.

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: `30341 = 15171^2 - 15170^2 = 230159241 - 230128900`

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: `30341 = 95^2 + 146^2 = 9025 + 21316`, where `30341 = 4 × 7585 + 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: `30341` is of the form `4n+1`, where `n = 7585`.
