%N The number of elements in the continued fraction for phi(n)/n, where phi is the Euler totient function (A000010).

%F a(n) = 2 if and only if n is in A007694.
%F a(p) = 3 for an odd prime p.
%e a(2) = 2 since the continued fraction of phi(2)/2 = 1/2 = 0 + 1/2 has 2 elements: {0, 2}.
%e a(3) = 3 since the continued fraction of phi(3)/3 = 2/3 = 0 + 1/(1 + 1/2) has 3 elements: {0, 1, 2}.
%e a(15) = 4 since the continued fraction of phi(15)/15 = 8/15 = 0 + 1/(1 + 1/(1 + 1/7)) has 4 elements: {0, 1, 1, 7}.
