... Such a number, if it existed, would be a counter-example to Goldbach’s conjecture. (Needless to say, nobody has yet found such a counter-example.) 2.2. Implication.

... After checking all the 246683 Carmichael numbers < 1016 computed by Pinch [9], we obtain values of the functions f1 (pj ) and f2 (pj ) listed in Table 4. We also find all 566 numbers which are 1-fold Carmichael Sylow pseudoprimes < 1016 . Twenty-three of the 566 numbers are 2-fold Carmichael Sylow ps ...

... Remark: One might ask why we feel the need to justify division with remainder (as above), while accepting, for example, proof by induction. This is not an easy question to answer. Kronecker said, “God gave the integers. The rest is Man’s.” Virtually all number theorists agree with Kronecker in pract ...
