The multiplicative order of a mod m, gcd(a,m) = 1, is the smallest natural number d for which a^d = 1 (mod m).

Formula

a(n) = tau(n^5-1)-tau(n-1), where tau(n) = number of divisors of n A000005. Generally, if b(n, r) = |{m : multiplicative order of n mod m = r}| then b(n, r) = Sum_{d|r} mu(d)*tau(n^(r/d)-1), where mu(n) = Moebius function A008683.
