Comments

Squarefree composites m such that LCM_{prime p|m} (p-1) = LCM_{prime p, p-1|m-1} (p-1).

Carmichael numbers m such that LCM_{prime p|m} (p-1) = LCM_{prime p, p-1|m-1} (p-1), i.e., with A173614(m) = A346467(m).

Carmichael numbers m such that their index (m-1)/lambda(m) = A346468(m), cf. A174590.

Carl Pomerance noted that, for k = 40826, Chernick's Carmichael number (6k+1)*(12k+1)*(18k+1) = 88189878776579929 satisfies this condition.

Theorem: lambda(m) | lambda(D_{m-1}) if and only if m | D_{m-1}.

Composites m such that lambda(m) | lambda(D_{m-1}) are all Carmichael numbers, defined as composites m such that lambda(m) | m-1, while lambda(D_{m-1}) | m-1 for every m.

Note that if p is prime, then lambda(p) = lambda(D_{p-1}) = p-1.
