Talk:Lucas-Carmichael number

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Are there infinitely many Lucas-Carmichael numbers? Is there an approximate formula for the number of Lucas-Carmichael numbers less than a given number N?

[edit] Number of prime factors?

The article quotes examples of Lucas-Carmichael numbers with 3, 4 and 5 factors. I think there can't be just 2 factors. Can there be arbitrarily many?

[edit] Formula for these numbers?

Is there any formula or procedure for calculating these numbers?
