Devaraj numbers: squarefree r-prime-factor (r>1) integers N=p1*...*pr such that phi(N)=(p1-1)*...*(pr-1) divides gcd(p1-1,...,pr-1)^2*(N-1)^(r-2).

COMMENTS
A.K. Devaraj conjectured that these numbers are exactly Carmichael numbers. It was proved (see Alekseyev link) that every Carmichael number is indeed a Devaraj number, but the converse is not true. Devaraj numbers that are not Carmichael are given by A104017.
These numbers can't be even, since phi(N) is always even (N>2) but p1=2 implies that gcd{pi-1}=1 and N-1 is odd. - M. F. Hasler, Apr 03 2009
