Let's say we are given a number, $n$. I'm interested in the special properties of all congruences of $n$ that yield $m-1 \bmod m$ for some number $m$. If we were to make a list of all $m$ that this satisfies (starting from 2), what would be the asymptotic behavior of the product of $m$'s?
Let me give an example:
Say $n$=5. Then $5\equiv 1 \pmod 2$, so the equation $(n\bmod m)=(m-1\bmod m)$ is satisfied for $m$=2, so we add 2 to the list. $5 \equiv 2\pmod 3$, so we add 3 to the list as well. This gives a product of $2\cdot 3 = 6$ for the list at $m$=3. $5\equiv 1\pmod 4$, which does not satisfy the special property, so for $m$=4, the product remains at 6. I'd like to know the asymptotic behavior of the products for a given $m$. I guess that the product will approach a maximum value as $m$ approaches $n$, but what is this value?
