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: `48733` is 1 more than `48732` (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 `48733` is `2374905289`. Subtracting 1, we get `2374905288`. Note that `2374905288 ÷ 24 = 98954387`.

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: `48733 = 24367^2 - 24366^2 = 593750689 - 593701956`

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: `48733 = 58^2 + 213^2 = 3364 + 45369`, where `48733 = 4 × 12183 + 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: `48733` is of the form `4n+1`, where `n = 12183`.
