COMMENTS

Sequence gives values of n such that x^2 == 1 (mod n) has no solution with 1<x<n-1. - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Jan 04 2002

FORMULA

The sequence consists of 1, 2, 4 and numbers of the form p^i and 2p^i, where p is an odd prime and i >= 1.

Gaussian criterion for terms of the sequence: n is in the sequence iff Prod{1<=i<=n-1, GCD(i,n)=1}i==-1(mod n) - Vladimir Shevelev(shevelev(AT)bgu.ac.il) 11 Jan 2011

EXAMPLE

Gaussian product for n=9 is 1*2*4*5*7*8=2240. Since 2240==-1(mod 9), then 9 is in the sequence.
