Numbers n such that A071126(n)=A000040(n)-1 - Hugo Pfoertner, Mar 18 2003
a( PrimePi[p] ) = p - 1 for prime p = {7, 17, 19, 23, 29, 47, 59, 61, 97, ...} = A001913(n) Cyclic numbers: primes with primitive root 10. a( A060257(n) ) = prime( A060257(n) ) - 1, where A060257(n) = {4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 17, 18, 25, 29, 30, 32, ...} Numbers n such that 1/prime(n) has period prime(n) - 1. - Alexander Adamchuk, Jan 28 2007
