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: `58403` is 1 less than `58404` (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 `58403` is `3410910409`. Subtracting 1, we get `3410910408`. Note that `3410910408 ÷ 24 = 142121267`.

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: `58403 = 29202^2 - 29201^2 = 852756804 - 852698401`

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: `58403` is of the form `4n-1`, where `n = 14601`.
