A122783 Nonprimes k > 0 such that 6^k==6 (mod k). 6

%N Nonprimes k > 0 such that 6^k==6 (mod k).

%C Theorem: If both numbers q and 2q-1 are primes then n=q*(2q-1) is in the sequence iff q<5 or q is of the form 12k+1. 6,15,2701,18721,49141,104653,226801,665281,... are such terms.

%H Harvey P. Dale, <a href="/A122783/b122783.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..1000</a>

%e 1 is a term since 6^1 = 6 is congruent to 6 mod 1.

%e 2 is not a term since although 6^2 === 6 (mod 2), 2 IS a prime.

%e 4 is not a term since 6^4 = 1296 == 0 mod 4, while 6 == 2 (mod 4).

%e 6 is a term since 6^6 = 46656 == 0 (mod 6), and 6 == 0 (mod 6).

%e 10 is a term because 6^10 = 60466176 == 6 (mod 10)
