%N Carmichael numbers divisible by a smaller Carmichael number.

%C Carmichael numbers by which the numbers from sequence are divisible: 1729, 1729, 2821, 1729, 2465, 1729, 1729, 8911, 29341, 6601, 8911, 41041, 8911, 75361, 8911, 46657, 2821 and 172081, 1105, 10585, 2821 and 172081, 41041, 41041, 2465 and 278545, 1729 and 188461, 46657, 552721.- Corrected by _Robert Israel_, Mar 20 2018

%C Note: A Carmichael number can be divisible by more than one Carmichael number: e.g. 31146661, 41471521, 101957401.

%C A subsequence of this sequence contains the numbers C1 (and another subsequence the numbers C3) that can be written as C1 = (C2 + C3)/2, where C1, C2 and C3 are Carmichael numbers and C1 and C3 are both divisible by C2 (e.g. 63973 = (1729 + 126217)/2; 93614521 = (41041 + 187188001)/2).

%C Conjecture: A Carmichael number C1 can be written as C1 = (C2 + C3)/2, where C2 and C3 are also Carmichael numbers, only if both C1 and C3 are divisible by C2.

%C Counterexample: 46657 = (29341 + 63973)/2. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Dec 08 2014
