Inverse of Euler totient function.

A051445 without the zeros. The values of n are in A002180.

According to Guy, the first even term is for 2n=16842752=257*2^16. If there are only five Fermat primes, then terms will be even for 2n=2^r for all r>31. This was discussed in problem E3361. [From T. D. Noe (noe(AT)sspectra.com), Aug 14 2008]
