COMMENTS

It appears that a(n)=0 for only the 30 numbers in A065428, which appears to be related to idoneal numbers, A000926. The graph shows a(n) can be quite small even for large n. For example, a(9240)=7. Observe that the graph up to n=10000 appears to have 5 components. Why?

The logarithmic plot of the first 10^6 terms shows seven components.

EXAMPLE

For n=14, the squares (mod n) repeat 0,1,4,9,2,11,8,7,8,11,2,9,4,1,0,..., a sequence containing three distinct primes: 2, 7 and 11. Hence a(14)=3.
