COMMENTS
Also numbers n such that phi(n) = 2^a*3^b with a, b > 0.
Also numbers n such that a regular n-gon can be constructed using conics but not with merely a compass and straightedge.
"Constructed using conics" means that one can draw any conic, once its focus, its vertex and a point on its directrix are constructed. Points at intersections are thereby constructed. (Videla's definition is slightly more complicated, but equivalent.) One can use parabolas to take cube roots; hyperbolas yield trisected angles. - Don Reble, Apr 23 2007

FORMULA
Numbers n of the form 2^a*3^b*p*q*r*..., where p, q, r, ... are distinct primes of the form 2^x*3^y + 1 (i.e., belong to A005109) and phi(n) is not a power of 2 [Videla]. - Robert G. Wilson v, Apr 05 2005
EXAMPLE
Phi(999) = Phi(3*3*3*37) = 648 = 8*81.
