%N Numbers k such that k is strictly greater than f(k), where f(k) = 1 if k is prime, 2 * rad(k) if 4 divides k and rad(k) otherwise.

%C This is the set of all integers k such that there exists a full period linear congruential pseudorandom number generator x -> bx + c (mod k), where b is not a multiple of k, b - 1 is a multiple of f(k) and c is a positive integer relatively prime to k.

%C 4 is the only prime power not a member of the set: f(4) = 2 * rad(4) = 4.

%C This sequence consists of the primes and 2*A013929. - _Charlie Neder_, Jan 28 2019

%e 2 is a member: f(2) = 1 and the sequence (0, 1, 0, ...) given by x -> x + 1 (mod 2) has period 2.

%e 8 is a member: f(8) = 4 and the sequence (0, 1, 6, 7, 4, 5, 2, 3, 0, ...) given by x -> 5x + 1 (mod 8) has period 8.
