Carmichael Number/Examples/294,409

Example of Carmichael Number

$294 \, 409$ is a Carmichael number:

$\forall a \in \Z: a \perp 294 \, 409: a^{294 \, 409} \equiv a \pmod {294 \, 409}$

while $294 \, 409$ is composite.

We have that:

$294 \, 409 = 37 \times 73 \times 109$

First note that $294 \, 409$ is square-free.

Hence the square of none of its prime factors is a divisor of $294 \, 409$:

$\forall p \divides 294 \, 409: p^2 \nmid 294 \, 409$

We also see that:
