Agoh-Giuga conjecture
In 1950, Giuseppe Giuga conjectured that if and only if an integer p is prime then it will satisfy the congruence
p-1∑i=1ip-1≡-1mod |
This is sometimes called the Giuga conjecture. Takashi Agoh rephrased the conjecture as , where is a Bernoulli number
; this is called the Agoh-Giuga conjecture. In 2003 Simon Plouffe performed an exhaustive search for a counterexample below 50000 but came up empty.
