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: `95467` is 1 more than `95466` (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 `95467` is `9113948089`. Subtracting 1, we get `9113948088`. Note that `9113948088 ÷ 24 = 379747837`.

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: `95467 = 47734^2 - 47733^2 = 2278534756 - 2278439289`

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: `95467` is of the form `4n-1`, where `n = 23867`.
