Lucas-Carmichael number
Given an odd squarefree![]()
integer (that is, one with factorization , with being the number of distinct prime factors function, and all ) if it the case that each is a divisor
![]()
of , then is called a Lucas-Carmichael number.
For example, 935 has three prime factors![]()
, 5, 11, 17. Adding one to each of these we get 6, 12, 18, and these three numbers are all divisors of 936. Therefore, 935 is a Lucas-Carmichael number.
The first few Lucas-Carmichael numbers are 399, 935, 2015, 2915, 4991, 5719, 7055, 8855. These are listed in A006972 of Sloane’s OEIS.
Not to be confused with Carmichael numbers![]()
, the absolute Fermat pseudoprimes.
