Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Minimal number of conjugacy classes (which is also the number of irreducible representations) in G where G is a finite group of order n.
%C a(n) <= n with equality iff n belongs to sequence A051532.

%e a(6) = 3 because there are two groups of order 6, the cyclic group with 6 classes and S_3 with 3 classes.
