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: `54361` is 1 more than `54360` (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 `54361` is `2955118321`. Subtracting 1, we get `2955118320`. Note that `2955118320 ÷ 24 = 123129930`.

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: `54361 = 27181^2 - 27180^2 = 738806761 - 738752400`

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: `54361 = 80^2 + 219^2 = 6400 + 47961`, where `54361 = 4 × 13590 + 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: `54361` is of the form `4n+1`, where `n = 13590`.
