COMMENTS

There are no other Giuga numbers with <= 8 prime factors. I did an exhaustive search using a PARI script which implemented Borweins and Girgensohn's method for finding n factor solutions given n-2 factors). - Fred Schneider (frederick.william.schneider(AT)gmail.com), Jul 04 2006

One further Giuga number is known with 10 prime factors, namely:

420001794970774706203871150967065663240419575375163060922876441614\

2557211582098432545190323474818 =

2 * 3 * 11 * 23 * 31 * 47059 * 2217342227 * 1729101023519 * 8491659218261819498490029296021 * 58254480569119734123541298976556403

but this may not be the next term. (See the Butske et al. paper.)

Conjecture: Giuga numbers are the solution of the differential equation n'=n+1, being n' the arithmetic derivative of n. [From Paolo P. Lava, Nov 16 2009].

n is a Giuga number if and only if n′ = a*n + 1 for some integer a>0 (see our preprint in arXiv:1103.2298). - José María Grau Ribas, Mar 19 2011.
