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: `77641` is 1 more than `77640` (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 `77641` is `6028124881`. Subtracting 1, we get `6028124880`. Note that `6028124880 ÷ 24 = 251171870`.

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: `77641 = 38821^2 - 38820^2 = 1507070041 - 1506992400`

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: `77641 = 171^2 + 220^2 = 29241 + 48400`, where `77641 = 4 × 19410 + 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: `77641` is of the form `4n+1`, where `n = 19410`.
