The numbers 2^npq and 2^nr are an amicable pair if the three integers p = 2^m(2^(n-m)+1)-1 (1) q = 2^n(2^(n-m)+1)-1 (2) r = 2^(n+m)(2^(n-m)+1)^2-1 (3) are all prime numbers ...

The Fermat quotient for a number a and a prime base p is defined as q_p(a)=(a^(p-1)-1)/p. (1) If pab, then q_p(ab) = q_p(a)+q_p(b) (2) q_p(p+/-1) = ∓1 (3) (mod p), where the ...

In 1657, Fermat posed the problem of finding solutions to sigma(x^3)=y^2, and solutions to sigma(x^2)=y^3, where sigma(n) is the divisor function (Dickson 2005). The first ...

A Lehmer number is a number generated by a generalization of a Lucas sequence. Let alpha and beta be complex numbers with alpha+beta = sqrt(R) (1) alphabeta = Q, (2) where Q ...

Mills' constant can be defined as the least theta such that f_n=|_theta^(3^n)_| is prime for all positive integers n (Caldwell and Cheng 2005). The first few f_n for n=1, 2, ...

An integer N which is a product of distinct primes and which satisfies 1/N+sum_(p|N)1/p=1 (Butske et al. 1999). The first few are 2, 6, 42, 1806, 47058, ... (OEIS A054377). ...

Let a sequence be defined by A_(-1) = s (1) A_0 = 3 (2) A_1 = r (3) A_n = rA_(n-1)-sA_(n-2)+A_(n-3). (4) Also define the associated polynomial f(x)=x^3-rx^2+sx+1, (5) and let ...

tau(n) is prime for n=63001, 458329, 942841, 966289, 1510441, ... (OEIS A135430). These values are also known as Lehmer-Ramanujan numbers or LR numbers since the first of ...

A Thâbit ibn Kurrah number, sometimes called a 321-number, is a number of the form K_n=3·2^n-1. The first few for n=0, 1, ... are 2, 5, 11, 23, 47, 95, 191, 383, 767, ... ...

Find nontrivial solutions to sigma(x^2)=sigma(y^2) other than (x,y)=(4,5), where sigma(n) is the divisor function. Nontrivial solutions means that solutions which are ...
