Talk:Lucas–Carmichael number

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Are there infinitely many Lucas-Carmichael numbers? Is there an approximate formula for the number of Lucas-Carmichael numbers less than a given number N?

Number of prime factors?

[edit]

The article quotes examples of Lucas-Carmichael numbers with 3, 4 and 5 factors. I think there can't be just 2 factors. Can there be arbitrarily many?

Formula for these numbers?

[edit]

Is there any formula or procedure for calculating these numbers?

So What?

This is an encyclopedia not a dictionary - therefore IMO somebody has to say if these things have any use or if it is just an acadamic novelty. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.25.96.244 (talk) 11:27, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

not a stub.

[edit]

i guess this article is not a stub anymore: the definition is detailed enough and examples are given as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Halloleo (talkcontribs) 01:44, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
