The kronecker symbol and factorization of $n=\frac{B^N-1}{B-1}$

Let $n=\frac{B^N-1}{B-1}$. Assume $n$ is congruent to 3 modulo 4. We have the following: If $N$ is 1 modulo 4, then $N$ is quadratic residue modulo $n$ and $-N$ is quadratic non-residue. The square ...

Around a characterization for even perfect numbers, similar than Euclides-Euler theorem, in terms of totatives

In this post we denote the sum of divisors function as $$\sigma(n)=\sum_{1\leq d\mid n}d,$$ then an even perfect number is a positive integer $n\equiv 0\text{ mod }2$ for which $\sigma(n)=2n.$ As ...

Equations involving arithmetic functions of primorials

Let $\sigma(n)=\sum_{1\leq d\mid n}d$ the sum of divisors, $\varphi(n)$ the Euler's totient function and we denote the primorial $\prod_{k=1}^n p_k$ as $N_n$, where $p_k$ denotes the $k$-th prime ...

Near Pochhammer symbols: the equation $(n)_m-(k)_l=2$ for integers greater than or equal to two

In this post I consider the following equation involving Pochhammer symbols, $$(n)_m-(k)_l=2\tag{1}$$ for positive integers $n\geq 2$ and $k\geq 2$, and positive integers $m\geq 2$ and $l\geq 2$. ...

runs of consecutive non squarefree integers

This question gained no attention at Math SE. Call a sequence of $k$ consecutive naturals squary if each one of them is divided by a square > 1. The Chinese Remainder theorem trivially guarantees us ...
