Analogue of Fermat's little theorem for Bernoulli numbers
Is the following analogue of Fermat's Little Theorem for Bernoulli numbers true?
Let $D_{2n}$ be the denominator of $\frac{B_{2n}}{4n}$ where $B_n$ is
the $n$-th Bernoulli number. If $\gcd(a, D_{2n}) ...

Find all positive integers $n$ such that $n+\tau{(n)}=2\varphi{(n)}$
Conjecture:Today I have no intention of thinking about this question. I have only got two solutions so far. I guess there are only two solutions, but I won't prove it.
Let $n$ be positive integers, ...

On the nearest-square function and the quantity $m^2 - p^k$ where $p^k m^2$ is an odd perfect number
This question has been cross-posted from this MSE question and is an offshoot of this other MSE question.
(Note that MSE user mathlove has posted an answer in MSE, which I could not completely ...

Attempt of exploit the equation $1/\operatorname{rad}(n)=1/2-2\varphi(n)/\sigma(n)$ in the context of even perfect numbers, and a related conjecture
It is well known that the problem concerning even perfect numbers is to prove or refute if there are infinitely many of them. Few weeks ago I wrote the following conjecture, where $\varphi(n)$ denotes ...

Any counter example for this: ${\phi(2^n-1)} \bmod \tau(2^n-1)=0$ for every integer $n \geq 1$? [closed]
I asked this question here In S.E but i don't received any resposnes for it, I would like to know if it is appropriate for M.O.
I'm always interesting for properties of the following series : $ \...

Who is attributed with the conjecture that every multiply-perfect number greater than $1$ is even?
I know that Descartes is considered to be the first to ask whether or not odd perfect numbers exist ($n$ such that $\sigma(n)=2n$, where $\sigma(n)$ is the sum of divisors of $n$), and he also ...
