%N Number of distinct residues of k^n (mod n), k=0..n-1.

%C a(n) = n if n prime.

%H Alois P. Heinz, <a href="/A195637/b195637.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000</a>

%e a(18) = 4 because k^18 == 0, 1, 9, 10 (mod 18) => 4 distinct residues.

%e From _R. J. Mathar_, Aug 27 2013: (Start)

%e The triangle of k^n (mod n) starts in row n=1 with columns k>=0 as:

%e 0;

%e 0, 1;

%e 0, 1, 2;

%e 0, 1, 0, 1;

%e 0, 1, 2, 3, 4;

%e 0, 1, 4, 3, 4, 1;

%e 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6;

%e 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1;

%e 0, 1, 8, 0, 1, 8, 0, 1, 8;

%e 0, 1, 4, 9, 6, 5, 6, 9, 4, 1;

%e 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10;
