%N Pisano periods for primes: period of Fibonacci numbers mod prime(n).

%C Assuming Wall's conjecture (which is still open) allows one to calculate A001175(m) when m is a prime power since for any k >= 1: A001175(prime(n)^k) = a(n)*prime(n)^(k-1). For example: A001175(2^k) = 3*2^(k-1) = A007283(k-1).

%F a(n) = A001175(prime(n)). - _Jonathan Sondow_, Dec 09 2017

%F a(n) = (3 - L(p))/2 * (p - L(p)) / A296240(n) for n >= 4, where p = prime(n) and L(p) = Legendre(p|5); so a(n) <= p-1 if p == +- 1 mod 5, and a(n) <= 2*p+2 if p == +- 2 mod 5. See Wall's Theorems 6 and 7. - _Jonathan Sondow_, Dec 10 2017
