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: `44809` is 1 more than `44808` (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 `44809` is `2007846481`. Subtracting 1, we get `2007846480`. Note that `2007846480 ÷ 24 = 83660270`.

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: `44809 = 22405^2 - 22404^2 = 501984025 - 501939216`

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: `44809 = 60^2 + 203^2 = 3600 + 41209`, where `44809 = 4 × 11202 + 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: `44809` is of the form `4n+1`, where `n = 11202`.
