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: `35573` is 1 less than `35574` (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 `35573` is `1265438329`. Subtracting 1, we get `1265438328`. Note that `1265438328 ÷ 24 = 52726597`.

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: `35573 = 17787^2 - 17786^2 = 316377369 - 316341796`

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: `35573 = 103^2 + 158^2 = 10609 + 24964`, where `35573 = 4 × 8893 + 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: `35573` is of the form `4n+1`, where `n = 8893`.
