Suppose the k=5k=5k=5 two-prime residual has already forced p+1=6u2p+1 = 6u^2p+1=6u2 for some uuu, as the proved theorem five_euler_index_is_six_times_square establishes from B=32k+1v2B = 3^{2k+1}v^2B=32k+1v2. Then together with the Euler-prime hypothesis p≡1(mod4)p \equiv 1 \pmod 4p≡1(mod4) one obtains the much sharper restriction

p≡5(mod48).p \equiv 5 \pmod{48}.p≡5(mod48).

Indeed p≡1(mod4)p \equiv 1 \pmod 4p≡1(mod4) forces u2u^2u2 odd, so uuu is odd, and an odd square is 111 modulo 888. Hence p+1=6u2≡6(mod48)p+1 = 6u^2 \equiv 6 \pmod{48}p+1=6u2≡6(mod48), i.e. p≡5(mod48)p \equiv 5 \pmod{48}p≡5(mod48).

Consequence. This upgrades the earlier parity-only conclusion p≡5(mod12)p \equiv 5 \pmod{12}p≡5(mod12) to a congruence modulo 484848, and it is the first point at which the square structure of the linear cyclotomic factor (p+1)/2(p+1)/2(p+1)/2 feeds back into the Euler prime itself. Two further consequences follow immediately and are recorded as separate targets: p≡5(mod8)p \equiv 5 \pmod 8p≡5(mod8) gives p2+p+1≡7(mod8)p^2+p+1 \equiv 7 \pmod 8p2+p+1≡7(mod8) and (p2−p+1)/3≡7(mod8)(p^2-p+1)/3 \equiv 7 \pmod 8(p2−p+1)/3≡7(mod8), which through the proved allocation C=qu12C = q u_1^2C=qu12​ and D0=ru22D_0 = r u_2^2D0​=ru22​ transfer to q≡r≡7(mod8)q \equiv r \equiv 7 \pmod 8q≡r≡7(mod8) and hence, with the mod-333 transfer, q≡r≡7(mod24)q \equiv r \equiv 7 \pmod{24}q≡r≡7(mod24). Verified exhaustively for every prime p<200000p < 200000p<200000 with p+1=6u2p+1 = 6u^2p+1=6u2 and p≡1(mod4)p \equiv 1 \pmod 4p≡1(mod4): 25 cases, no counterexample.

Formal statement
namespace OddPerfectNumber.Kernel

/-- If `p % 4 = 1` and `p + 1 = 6 * u ^ 2` for some `u`, then `p % 48 = 5`.

  From `p % 4 = 1` we get `u ^ 2` odd, hence `u` odd, and every odd square is `1 (mod 8)`.
  So `p + 1 = 6 * u ^ 2 = 6 (mod 48)`, giving `p = 5 (mod 48)`. -/
