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: `96043` is 1 more than `96042` (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 `96043` is `9224257849`. Subtracting 1, we get `9224257848`. Note that `9224257848 ÷ 24 = 384344077`.

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: `96043 = 48022^2 - 48021^2 = 2306112484 - 2306016441`

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: `96043` is of the form `4n-1`, where `n = 24011`.
