Abstract:

We prove there is no infinite set of congruences with: every integer satisfying exactly one congruence, distinct moduli, the sum of the reciprocals of the moduli equal to 1, the lcm of the moduli divisible by only finitely many primes, and a prime greater than 3 dividing any of the moduli.
