quoting from their paper above...


"What is this number? Well, it's p!59p!9, where p!k is the product of the
first k primes, p1p2 ···pk. And where do p59 and p9 come from? p59 = 277 is
the largest possible prime factor, and p9 = 23 is the largest possible
repeated prime factor, of a composite number less than the Carmichael
number 561."
