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: `43067` is 1 less than `43068` (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 `43067` is `1854766489`. Subtracting 1, we get `1854766488`. Note that `1854766488 ÷ 24 = 77281937`.

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: `43067 = 21534^2 - 21533^2 = 463713156 - 463670089`

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: `43067` is of the form `4n-1`, where `n = 10767`.
