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: `85369` is 1 more than `85368` (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 `85369` is `7287866161`. Subtracting 1, we get `7287866160`. Note that `7287866160 ÷ 24 = 303661090`.

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: `85369 = 42685^2 - 42684^2 = 1822009225 - 1821923856`

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: `85369 = 200^2 + 213^2 = 40000 + 45369`, where `85369 = 4 × 21342 + 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: `85369` is of the form `4n+1`, where `n = 21342`.
