%C A(m,n) = Least k>0 such that m^k=1 (mod n), or 0 if no such k exists.

%C It is easy to prove that column n has period n.

%C A(1,n) = 1, A(m,1) =1.

%C If A(m,n) differs from 0, it is period length of 1/n in base m.

%C The maximum number in column n is psi(n) (A002322(n)), and all numbers in column n (except 0) divide psi(n), and all factors of psi(n) are in column n.

%C Except the first row, every row contains all natural numbers.

%e A(3,7) = 6 because:

%e 3^0 = 1 (mod 7)

%e 3^1 = 3 (mod 7)

%e 3^2 = 2 (mod 7)

%e 3^3 = 6 (mod 7)

%e 3^4 = 4 (mod 7)

%e 3^5 = 5 (mod 7)

%e 3^6 = 1 (mod 7)

%e ...

%e And the period is 6, so A(3,7) = 6.
