EXAMPLE

n=18: start = 262144 and the corresponding 11-cycle is 262144, 524286, [368640, 381024, 326592, 550368, 435456, 580608, 851840, 552960, 524160, 442368, 432000], 368640, ...

MATHEMATICA

g[n_] := EulerPhi[ DivisorSigma[1, n]]; f[n_] := Block[{lst = NestWhileList[g, n, UnsameQ, All]}, -Subtract @@ Flatten[ Position[lst, lst[[ -1]]]]]; Table[ f[2^n], {n, 0, 20}]
