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: `4133` is 1 less than `4134` (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 `4133` is `17081689`. Subtracting 1, we get `17081688`. Note that `17081688 ÷ 24 = 711737`.

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: `4133 = 2067^2 - 2066^2 = 4272489 - 4268356`

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: `4133 = 17^2 + 62^2 = 289 + 3844`, where `4133 = 4 × 1033 + 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: `4133` is of the form `4n+1`, where `n = 1033`.
