An elementary proof of a congruence by Skula and Granville

Romeo Meštrović (2012)

Archivum Mathematicum

Let p 5 be a prime, and let q p ( 2 ) : = ( 2 p - 1 - 1 ) / p be the Fermat quotient of p to base 2 . The following curious congruence was conjectured by L. Skula and proved by A. Granville q p ( 2 ) 2 - k = 1 p - 1 2 k k 2 ( mod p ) . In this note we establish the above congruence by entirely elementary number theory arguments.

Bounds for the counting function of the Jordan-Pólya numbers

Jean-Marie De Koninck, Nicolas Doyon, A. Arthur Bonkli Razafindrasoanaivolala, William Verreault (2020)

Archivum Mathematicum

A positive integer n is said to be a Jordan-Pólya number if it can be written as a product of factorials. We obtain non-trivial lower and upper bounds for the number of Jordan-Pólya numbers not exceeding a given number x .
