If x is a member of this sequence, and y is a member of this sequence or A248219 or A256343, then LCM(x,y) is a member of this sequence. - Robert Israel, Mar 09 2021

EXAMPLE
In Z/81Z, the iteration of x -> x^2+1 starting at x = 0 yields (0, 1, 2, 5, 26, 29, 32, 53, 56, 59, 80, 2, ...), and m = 81 is the least positive number for which there is such a cycle of length 9, here [2, 5, 26, 29, 32, 53, 56, 59, 80], therefore a(1) = 81.
MAPLE
filter:= proc(n) local x, k, R, p;

else R[x]:= k
