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: `51613` is 1 more than `51612` (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 `51613` is `2663901769`. Subtracting 1, we get `2663901768`. Note that `2663901768 ÷ 24 = 110995907`.

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: `51613 = 25807^2 - 25806^2 = 666001249 - 665949636`

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: `51613 = 102^2 + 203^2 = 10404 + 41209`, where `51613 = 4 × 12903 + 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: `51613` is of the form `4n+1`, where `n = 12903`.
