Number of refactorable numbers (A033950) 10n\le 10^n

A number $k$ is refactorable if its number of divisors, $\tau(k)$, divides $k$. Simon Colton conjectures that the number of refactorable numbers less than $x$ is at least $\frac{x}{2\log x}$. This is an asymptotic claim, so we state it for sufficiently large $x$. Mathematical status Open: marked `research open` in google-deepmind/formal-conjectures at revision cd3d8db4634733a74

I conjecture that { $a(n)$ ; $n>1$ } are the numbers such that $n^4-1$ divides $2^n-1$, intersection of A247219 and A247165. - M. F. Hasler, Jul 25 2015 This formalizes the reverse direction.

Numerator of (6n22n)/(2(4n12n))\binom{6n-2}{2n} / \left(2 \binom{4n-1}{2n}\right)

Conjecture: $\binom{6n-2}{2n} / \left(2 \binom{4n-1}{2n}\right) = A005156(n+1)/A005156(n)$ It is conjectured that $\binom{6n-2}{2n} / \left(2 \binom{4n-1}{2n}\right) = A005156(n+1)/A005156(n)$, where the OEIS comment reads A005156 as 1-based; with the 0-indexed `b` this is `frac (n + 1) = b (n + 1) / b n`.

More generally, Bose and Chowla [BoCh62] conjectured that the maximum size of $A\subseteq \{1,\ldots,N\}$ with all $r$-fold sums distinct (aside from the trivial coincidences) then $\lvert A\rvert \sim N^{1/r}.$ Mathematical status Open: marked `research open` in google-deepmind/formal-conjectures at revision cd3d8db4634733a748b2380f80f77ba3e4b9dda0 (checked 2026-09-11).

Array read by upward antidiagonals

Array read by upward antidiagonals: row $n$ ($n \ge 0$) contains the numbers $m^2 - n^2$, $m \ge n+1$. A "Goldbach Conjecture" for this sequence: when there are $n$ terms between consecutive odd integers $2n+1$ and $2n+3$ for $n > 0$, at least one will be the product of 2 primes (not necessarily distinct). Example: $n=3$ for consecutive odd integers $a(7) = 7$ and $a(11) = 9$ a
