COMMENTS

This sequence is related to the period of sigma_(2^k)(n) mod n, which is important in verifying the n dividing sigma_(2^k)(n) for all k>0. See A066292 and A118076. Note that a(n)=1 if n is a power of a prime.

EXAMPLE

See A118106 for an example involving d(n)^k.

MATHEMATICA

Table[d=Divisors[n]; k=0; found=False; While[i=0; While[i<k-1 && !found, i++; found=(dk[i]==dk[k])]; !found, k++; dk[k]=PowerMod[d, 2^k, n]]; k-i, {n, 100}]
