After adding 1806 to A242927, it becomes the same as the "fini,full"
sequence A014117,
which is defined by
Numbers n such that m^(n+1) == m (mod n) holds for all m.
Is this a coincidence, a conjecture, a theorem?
Don said A242927 has no further terms - is that a theorem?
Should the two entries now be merged?

Best regards
Neil
