Agoh-Giuga conjecture


In 1950, Giuseppe Giuga conjectured that if and only if an integer p is prime then it will satisfy the congruenceMathworldPlanetmath

i=1p-1ip-1-1modp.

This is sometimes called the Giuga conjectureMathworldPlanetmath. Takashi Agoh rephrased the conjecture as pBp-1-1modp, where B is a Bernoulli numberMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath; this is called the Agoh-Giuga conjecture. In 2003 Simon Plouffe performed an exhaustive search for a counterexample below 50000 but came up empty.
