A023140 Number of cycles of function f(x) = 8x mod n. 7

%N Number of cycles of function f(x) = 8x mod n.

%H T. D. Noe, <a href="/A023140/b023140.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000</a>

%F a(n) = Sum_{d|m} phi(d)/ord(8, d), where m is n with all factors of 2 removed. - _T. D. Noe_, Apr 21 2003

%F a(n) = (1/ord(8,m))*Sum_{j = 0..ord(8,m)-1} gcd(8^j - 1, m), where m is n with all factors of 2 removed. - _Nihar Prakash Gargava_, Nov 14 2018

%e a(10) = 2 because the function 8x mod 10 has the two cycles (0),(2,6,8,4).
