Alwin Korselt is associated with Korselt criterion for Carmichael numbers. The criterion characterizes a composite positive integer by squarefreeness and the divisibilities for every prime divisor of .
It turns a universal modular-exponent condition into a finite collection of arithmetic tests on prime factors. For example, is squarefree, and all divide , giving the standard example of a Carmichael number.[ref]
