It is a hyperbola.

Well, there was a typo, you wanted gcd of 34 and 12. And sure, it is CRT for big numbers, easy with no machinery for $35$.

There are two more solutions, the "mixed" ones. Solve $x\equiv -1\pmod{5}$, x\equiv 1\pmod{7}$. The other one is just the negative.

comment If $17 \mid \frac{n^m - 1}{n-1}$ find the values of $n$ where $m$ is even but not divisible by $4$
@Kaish: For $m$ of the right shape, any $n$ congruent to $1$ modulo $17$ works. In the material I added, there is a discussion (with proof) of the $n$ that work if $n\not\equiv 1\pmod{17}$.

comment Factorization in Gaussian integers
Because $p$ doesn't divide $i$. When does an ordinary integer $k$ divide a Gaussian $a+bi$? When $a+bi=k(c+di)$ for some Gaussian $c+di$. This means $kc=a$ and $kd=b$, i.e. $a$ and $b$ are each an ordinary multiple of $k$. Now $s-i$ is $s+(-1)i$, and $k\gt 1$ does not divide $-1$. (I have done too much detail!)

@bateman: Thanks for spotting it. It is $c^2$. Fixed.
