A super-Poulet number is a Poulet number whose every divisor d divides
- 2d − 2.
For example 341 is a super-Poulet number: it has positive divisors {1, 11, 31, 341} and we have:
- (211 - 2) / 11 = 2046 / 11 = 186
- (231 - 2) / 31 = 2147483646 / 31 = 69273666
- (2341 - 2) / 341 = 13136332798696798888899954724741608669335164206654835981818117894215788100763407304286671514789484550

Famous quotes containing the word number:
“[The] elderly and timid single gentleman in Paris ... never drove down the Champs Elysees without expecting an accident, and commonly witnessing one; or found himself in the neighborhood of an official without calculating the chances of a bomb. So long as the rates of progress held good, these bombs would double in force and number every ten years.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
