COMMENTS

If the Fibonacci numbers are indexed so that 3 is the fourth number, then if the modulo base is a Fibonacci number (>= 3) with an even index, the period has 2 zeros. If the base is a Fibonacci number (>= 5) with an odd index, the period has 4 zeros. - Kerry Mitchell (lkmitch(AT)gmail.com), Dec 11 2005

FORMULA

a(n) = A001175(n)/A001177(n) for n >= 1.

a(n) = ord(n, fibonacci(A001177(n) + 1)), where ord(n, a) is the multiplicative order of a modulo n. [From Mircea Merca, Jan 03 2011]

EXAMPLE

{F(n) mod 1} has fundamental period (0) with 1 zero.

{F(n) mod 2} has fundamental period (0,1,1) with 1 zero.

{F(n) mod 3} has fundamental period (0,1,1,2,0,2,2,1) with 2 zeros.

{F(n) mod 4} has fundamental period (0,1,1,2,3,1), with 1 zero.

{F(n) mod 5} has fundamental period (0,1,1,2,3,0,3,3,1,4,0,4,4,3,2,0,2,2,4,1) with 4 zeros.
