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: `90397` is 1 more than `90396` (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 `90397` is `8171617609`. Subtracting 1, we get `8171617608`. Note that `8171617608 ÷ 24 = 340484067`.

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: `90397 = 45199^2 - 45198^2 = 2042949601 - 2042859204`

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: `90397 = 206^2 + 219^2 = 42436 + 47961`, where `90397 = 4 × 22599 + 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: `90397` is of the form `4n+1`, where `n = 22599`.
