cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

A090088 Smallest even pseudoprimes to odd base=2n-1, not necessarily exceeding n. See also A007535 and A090086, A090087.

Comments

For an even base there are no even pseudoprimes.

Examples

			n=2, 2n-2=3 as base, smallest relevant power is -1+2^(286-1) which is divisible by 286.
