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: `96377` is 1 less than `96378` (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 `96377` is `9288526129`. Subtracting 1, we get `9288526128`. Note that `9288526128 ÷ 24 = 387021922`.

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: `96377 = 48189^2 - 48188^2 = 2322179721 - 2322083344`

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: `96377 = 76^2 + 301^2 = 5776 + 90601`, where `96377 = 4 × 24094 + 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: `96377` is of the form `4n+1`, where `n = 24094`.
