%N Prime powers minus 1.
%C If 0 is excluded, a(n) gives the possible lengths of the longest string of consecutive divisors of a positive integer: range of values of A055874.
%C a(n) is the largest number m such that A051451(n) = A003418(m).
%C From _Jianing Song_, Nov 01 2023: (Start)
%C Let q = A000961(n) for n > 1. Then:
%C - a(n) is the number of units in the finite field F_q.
%C - a(n) is the number of solutions to x*y = t for any t != 0 in F_q.
%C - If q is odd, then a(n) is also the number of solutions to x^2 - y^2 = t for any t != 0 in F_q. (End)
%H Matthew House, <a href="/A181062/b181062.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000</a>
%F a(n) = A000961(n)-1.
%e Any integer that is divisible by 5 consecutive integers will be divisible by at least 6 consecutive integers. Hence 5 is not in the sequence.
