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: `34849` is 1 more than `34848` (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 `34849` is `1214452801`. Subtracting 1, we get `1214452800`. Note that `1214452800 ÷ 24 = 50602200`.

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: `34849 = 17425^2 - 17424^2 = 303630625 - 303595776`

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: `34849 = 120^2 + 143^2 = 14400 + 20449`, where `34849 = 4 × 8712 + 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: `34849` is of the form `4n+1`, where `n = 8712`.
