Theorem. If n is a prime or a Carmichael number, then a(n) = A309132(n) = denominator of (N(n-1)/n + D(n-1)/n^2), where B(k) = N(k)/D(k) is the k-th Bernoulli number. This is a generalization of Theorem 1 in A309132 that A309132(p) = 1 if p is a prime. The proof generalizes that in A309132. As an application of Theorem, for n a prime or a Carmichael number one can compute A309132(n) without calculating Bernoulli numbers; see A309268.
A composite number n is a Giuga number A007850 if and only if a(n) = 1. (In fact, Sum_{prime p | n} 1/p - 1/n = 1 for all known Giuga numbers n.)
Semiprimes m = pq such that 1/p + 1/q - 1/m = p/q are exactly A190275. - Amiram Eldar and Thomas Ordowski, Jul 22 2019
The preceding comment may be rephrased as "Semiprimes m = pq such that A326689(m) = p and a(m) = q are exactly A190275." - Jonathan Sondow, Jul 22 2019
More generally, semiprimes m = pq such that 1/p + 1/q - 1/m = P/Q are exactly A190273, where P <> Q are primes. In other words, semiprimes m such that A326689(m) is prime and a(m) is prime are exactly A190273. - Amiram Eldar and Thomas Ordowski, Jul 25 2019

FORMULA
a(n) = 1 if n is a prime or a Giuga number A007850.
a(n) = denominator of (N(n-1)/n + D(n-1)/n^2) if n is a Carmichael number A002997.
a(n) = denominator((A069359(n) - 1)/n). - Peter Luschny, Jul 22 2019
