Are there odd composite numbers n such that
2^{n-1} == 1 (mod n D_{n-1} / 2} with gcd(n, D_{n-1}) > 1 ?
Thanks to Amiram for finding the numbers I asked for:
23872213, 36974341, 427294141, ...
Its data extension (as a proper subset of A331021) seems to be right:
23872213, 36974341, 427294141, 526359289, 550230409, 2129304997,
3196344061, 3598497631, 6913548721, 16267168711, 24449995753, 25546873717,
28751571577, 41521427221, ...

By the way, let's ask:
Are there odd numbers n > 1 such that p^{n-1} == 1 (mod n) for every prime
p | D_{n-1} ?
These are numbers n > 1 such that p^{n-1} == 1 (mod n) for every prime p
with p-1 | n-1.
A proper subset of A316907.
Amiram Eldar:
Well, I checked all the 10^4 terms of b316907 (the largest is ~2.5*10^11)
and found none.
So perhaps such numbers do not exist at all.
