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: `93761` is 1 less than `93762` (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 `93761` is `8791125121`. Subtracting 1, we get `8791125120`. Note that `8791125120 ÷ 24 = 366296880`.

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: `93761 = 46881^2 - 46880^2 = 2197828161 - 2197734400`

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: `93761 = 185^2 + 244^2 = 34225 + 59536`, where `93761 = 4 × 23440 + 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: `93761` is of the form `4n+1`, where `n = 23440`.
