Comments

In the case n=2 and any other case where a(n)=A000010(2n+1), the multiplicative group of units modulo 2n+1 is cyclic and thus 8 (and any other unit) is a generator. These moduli are A167796, so this occurs whenever 2n+1 (caution: not n) is a member of A167796. - Kellen Myers, Feb 06 2015

Example

The third term a(2) is 4 because 4 is the smallest integer such that 8^4 is congruent to 1 modulo 2*2+1=5. The orbit of 8 modulo 5 is {3, 4, 2, 1}. - Kellen Myers, Feb 06 2015
