See A266276(n) = the smallest numbers k such that phi(k) = n * phi(k-1) for n >=1: 2, 3, 7, 1261, 11242771, ...

Number of terms < 10^k: 1, 7, 17, 29, 41, 86, 205, 446, 1001, 2295, ..., . - Robert G. Wilson v, Jan 24 2016

All terms are == +-1 (mod 6) but mostly 1 (> 95%). - Robert G. Wilson v, Jan 24 2016

Formula

a(n) = A067143(n) + 1.

Example

19 is in the sequence because phi(19) = 18 = 3*phi(18) = 3*6.
