Abstract

The Brocard-Ramanujan problem pertains to the Diophantine equation n!+1=m2. Using the quadratic reciprocity law, we prove the existence of many infinite families of positive integers n such that n!+1 is not a perfect square, and we give several simple criteria for n!+1 to be a non-square.
