Abstract
A positive integer is a Cayley number if every vertex-transitive graph of order is a Cayley graph. In 1983, Dragan Maru\v{s}i\v{c} posed the problem of determining the Cayley numbers. In this paper we give an infinite set of primes such that every finite product of distinct elements from is a Cayley number. This answers a 1996 outstanding question of Brendan McKay and Cheryl Praeger, which they "believe to be the key unresolved question" on Cayley numbers. We also show that, for every finite product of distinct elements from , every transitive group of degree contains a semiregular element.
