Definition
A composite number is termed a Giuga number if and only if it satisfies the following equivalent conditions:
- For every prime number dividing , we have that divides , or equivalently, that divides .
- We have the following congruence:
where denotes the Euler totient function of .
Note that all prime numbers satisfy the stated condition but we deliberately exclude them by imposing the restriction of being composite.
Facts
- Giuga number is square-free
- One of the equivalent formulations of the Agoh-Giuga conjecture is that there is no natural number that is both a Giuga number and a Carmichael number.
