COMMENT

A001067(n) / A046968(n) when they are different, or alternatively, gcd(A001067(n),2n-1) when that number is > 1.

These numbers always products of irregular primes (A00928).

Comment from Roland Bacher (Roland.Bacher(AT)ujf-grenoble.fr), Feb 04, 2004: All values yielding 37 are of the form 574+666*k, k=0,1,2,3,4,... and form thus an arithmetic progression with step 666=18*37=((37-1)/2)*37. All values yielding 59 are of the form 1269+1711*k, k=0,1,2,3 and 1711=28*59=((59-1)/2)*59. The two values yielding 67 are at distance 2211=((67-1)/2)*67. Conjecture: all indices yielding a given prime p form an arithmetic progression of step ((p-1)/2)*p. See A092291.

Comment from Mohammed Bouayoun, Feb 05 2004: The positions where 37 occurs appear to coincide with A026352.

Roland Bacher conjectures that values of n yielding the same quotient p form an arithmetic progression n0+d*k, where d = p(p-1)/2. Actual and conjectured values of n0 are in the sequence A092291.

Composite values do occur. An example is 2n = 272876, which yields a quotient of 37*59. This was found by tdn using the Kummer congruences and CRT: using the irregular pairs (37,32) and (59,44), we know that the following Diophantine equations must be solved for (k,l,m): 32+36*k = 44+58*l = 1+37*59*m. Some quotients are not possible, e.g. 37*67, 37*103. All quotients are the product of irregular primes A000928. Composite quotients imply there are missing terms in the arithmetic progression conjectured by Bacher. - T. D. Noe (noe(AT)sspectra.com), Feb 12 2004
