Bang proved that T(p, a) == a (mod p) for every a > 0 and every odd prime. Rayes et al. (1999) defined Chebyshev pseudoprimes to base a as composite numbers k such that T(k, a) == a (mod k). They noted that there are no Chebyshev pseudoprimes in both bases 2 and 3 below 2000.

EXAMPLE
5719 is in the sequence since 5719 = 7 * 19 * 43 is composite and both T(5719 , 2) - 2 and T(5719, 3) - 3 are divisible by 5719.
