Abstract
For let , where is the greatest integer not exceeding . Then is an Ap\'ery-like sequence. In this paper we deduce many congruences involving , in particular we determine for by using binary quadratic forms, where is a prime. We also prove several congruences for generalized Ap\'ery-like numbers, and pose 29 challenging conjectures on congruences involving binomial coefficients and Ap\'ery-like numbers.
