Problem: are there infinitely many such numbers?
Note that all these numbers are composite, because p - lambda(p) = 1 and p^2 - lambda(p^2) = p prime.
If x - lambda(x) = n > 1, then x <= n^2.
Conjecture: if x - lambda(x) = 2*m > 0, then x <= 4*m.
Noncototients among these numbers are 172, 232, 244, 274, 298, 326, 362, ...
