The number of degree-n permutations of order exactly p (where p is prime) satisfies a(n) = a(n-1) + (1 + a(n-p))*(n-1)!/(n-p)! with a(n)=0 if p>n. Also a(n) = Sum_{j=1..floor(n/p)} (n!/(j!*(n-p*j)!*(p^j))).
These are the telephone numbers T^(5)_n of [Artioli et al., p. 7]. - Eric M. Schmidt, Oct 12 2017

FORMULA
E.g.f.: exp(x + x^5/5).
a(n+5) = a(n+4) + (24 +50*n +35*n^2 +10*n^3 +n^4)*a(n), with a(0)= ... = a(4) = 1.
a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-5)*(n-1)!/(n-5)!.
a(n) = Sum_{j = 0..floor(n/5)} n!/(5^j * j! * (n-5*j)!).
a(n) = A059593(n) + 1.
