COMMENTS

Motivated by even base-2 pseudoprime 161038, I enquired into base-n pseudoprimes kn that are multiples of n, i.e. n^(kn) == n (mod kn). This is equivalent to n^(kn-1) == 1 (mod k) [Edwin Clark] and is satified by any k dividing n-1 [Michael Reid]. For n >= 3, this guarantees the existence of a(n) with 2 <= a(n) = k <= lpf(n-1) (lpf = least prime factor). For most n, a(n) = lpf(n-1), exceptional n and a(n) are noted in A102458 and A102459.
