Theorem. If n is a prime or a Carmichael number, then a(n) = A309132(n) = denominator of (N(n-1)/n + D(n-1)/n^2), where B(k) = N(k)/D(k) is the k-th Bernoulli number. This is a generalization of Theorem 1 in A309132 that A309132(p) = 1 if p is a prime. The proof generalizes that in A309132. As an application of Theorem, for n a prime or a Carmichael number one can compute A309132(n) without calculating Bernoulli numbers; see A309268.

A composite number n is a Giuga number A007850 if and only if a(n) = 1. (In fact, Sum_{prime p | n} 1/p - 1/n = 1 for all known Giuga numbers n.)

Semiprimes m = pq such that 1/p + 1/q - 1/m = p/q are exactly A190275. - Amiram Eldar and Thomas Ordowski, Jul 22 2019

The preceding comment may be rephrased as "Semiprimes m = pq such that A326689(m) = p and a(m) = q are exactly A190275." - Jonathan Sondow, Jul 22 2019

More generally, semiprimes m = pq such that 1/p + 1/q - 1/m = P/Q are exactly A190273, where P <> Q are primes. In other words, semiprimes m such that A326689(m) is prime and a(m) is prime are exactly A190273. - Amiram Eldar and Thomas Ordowski, Jul 25 2019

Examples

			-1/1, 0/1, 0/1, 1/4, 0/1, 2/3, 0/1, 3/8, 2/9, 3/5, 0/1, 3/4, 0/1, 4/7, 7/15, 7/16, 0/1, 7/9, 0/1, 13/20, 3/7, 6/11, 0/1, 19/24, 4/25, 7/13, 8/27, 17/28, 0/1, 1/1
a(12) = denominator of (Sum_{prime p | 12} 1/p - 1/12) = denominator of (1/2 + 1/3 - 1/12) = denominator of 3/4 = 4.
Computing A309132(561) involves numerator(B(560)) which has 865 digits. But 561 is a Carmichael number, so Theorem implies A309132(561) = a(561) = denominator(1/3 + 1/11 + 1/17 - 1/561) = denominator(90/187) = 187.
