Hashes are effectively computed modulo 2**N. "Primes" are meaningless in that setting (except for the prime 2 which does have a meaning). For example, 1000003 is prime but 1000003 + 2**64 is not. But these represent the same number modulo 2**64. Also, multiplication by any odd number is a permutation modulo 2**N, so every odd number is invertible.
