COMMENTS

Note that if phi(x) = n!, then x must be a product of primes p such that p - 1 divides n!. - David Wasserman (wasserma(AT)spawar.navy.mil), Apr 30 2002

Gives the row lengths of the table A165773 (see example). All solutions to phi(x)=n! are in the interval [n!,(n+1)!] with the smallest/largest solutions given in A055487/A165774 respectively. [From M. F. Hasler (www.univ-ag.fr/~mhasler), Oct 04 2009]

FORMULA

a(n) = A014197(n!) = Cardinality[{x; A000010(x) = A000142(n)}]

EXAMPLE

n = 5, phi(x) = 5! = 120 holds for the following 17 numbers: { 143, 155, 175, 183, 225, 231, 244, 248, 286, 308, 310, 350, 366, 372, 396, 450, 462 }

Contribution from M. F. Hasler (www.univ-ag.fr/~mhasler), Oct 04 2009: (Start)

The table A165773 looks as follows:

1,2, /* a(1)=2 numbers for which phi(n) = 1! = 1 */

3,4,6, /* a(2)=3 numbers for which phi(n) = 2! = 2 */

7,9,14,18, /* a(3)=4 numbers for which phi(n) = 3! = 6 */

35,39,45,52,56,70,72,78,84,90, /* a(4)=10 numbers for which phi(n) = 4! = 24 */ (End)
