Always an integer: for an elementary proof that Sum(m^k,m=1..p-1)/p is an integer if p is prime and p-1 does not divide k (and a discussion of other proofs), see MacMillan and Sondow 2011. Applications are in Sondow and MacMillan 2011.

For (Sum(m^(p-1), m=1..p-1)+1)/p as p runs through the primes, see A055030.

For Sum(m^p, m=1..p-1) / p^2 as p runs through the odd primes, see A294507.
