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: `35023` is 1 more than `35022` (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 `35023` is `1226610529`. Subtracting 1, we get `1226610528`. Note that `1226610528 ÷ 24 = 51108772`.

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: `35023 = 17512^2 - 17511^2 = 306670144 - 306635121`

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: `35023` is of the form `4n-1`, where `n = 8756`.
