Agoh–Giuga conjecture on Bernoulli numbers

Let nn be a positive integer and let Bn1B_{n-1} denote the (n1)(n-1)-st Bernoulli number. Agoh–Giuga conjecture. The integer nn is prime if and only if

nBn11(modn).nB_{n-1}\equiv -1\pmod n.

This conjecture characterizes the prime numbers through a congruence involving Bernoulli numbers; the source gives no resolution status.
