FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{d|m} phi(d)/ord(8, d), where m is n with all factors of 2 removed. - T. D. Noe, Apr 21 2003
a(n) = (1/ord(8,m))*Sum_{j = 0..ord(8,m)-1} gcd(8^j - 1, m), where m is n with all factors of 2 removed. - Nihar Prakash Gargava, Nov 14 2018
EXAMPLE
a(10) = 2 because the function 8x mod 10 has the two cycles (0),(2,6,8,4).
MATHEMATICA
CountFactors[p_, n_] := Module[{sum=0, m=n, d, f, i, ps, j}, ps=Transpose[FactorInteger[p]][[1]]; Do[While[Mod[m, ps[[j]]]==0, m/=ps[[j]]], {j, Length[ps]}]; d=Divisors[m]; Do[f=d[[i]]; sum+=EulerPhi[f]/MultiplicativeOrder[p, f], {i, Length[d]}]; sum]; Table[CountFactors[8, n], {n, 100}]
