A268923 All odd primes a(n) such that for all odd primes q smaller than a(n) the order of 2 modulo a(n)*q is a proper divisor of phi(a(n)*q)/2. The totient function phi is given in A000010. 4

%N All odd primes a(n) such that for all odd primes q smaller than a(n) the order of 2 modulo a(n)*q is a proper divisor of phi(a(n)*q)/2. The totient function phi is given in A000010.

%C This sequence was inspired by A269454 submitted by _Marina Ibrishimova_.

%C It seems that if for an odd prime p > 3 the order(2, p*3) < phi(p*3)/2 = p-1 then p is in this sequence.

%C Note that 2^(phi(p*q)/2) == 1 (mod p*q) for distinct odd primes p and q, due to Nagell's corollary on Theorem 64, p. 106. The products of distinct primes considered in the present sequence have order of 2 modulo p*q smaller than phi(p*q)/2.

%C Up to and including prime(100) = 541 the only odd primes p such that for all odd primes q smaller than p the order of 2 modulo p*q equals phi(p*q)/2 are 5, 7, and 11.
