Number of 5 X 5 permutation matrices such that the n-th matrix power is the least nonnegative power that gives the identity matrix.

%S 1,25,20,30,24,20

%N Number of 5 X 5 permutation matrices such that the n-th matrix power is the least nonnegative power that gives the identity matrix.

%C The sum of the terms of this sequence is equal to the number of 5 X 5 permutation matrices: 5! = 120.

%C Number of elements of order n in symmetric group S_5. - _Alois P. Heinz_, Mar 30 2020

%e a(1) = 1 because there is only one matrix whose first power is the identity matrix (this is the identity matrix itself).
