Kurepa's left-factorial conjecture
Kurepa's left-factorial conjecture
For each integer , let the left factorial be the sum of the factorials below , and let denote the usual factorial. Kurepa's conjecture. The two factorials have greatest common divisor
This is a classical divisibility conjecture concerning the arithmetic relationship between the left factorial and the ordinary factorial; its resolution is not established in the supplied source.
