10, 15, 17, 21, 25, 30, 36, 41, 42, 44, 52, 55, 62, 72, 74, 76, 88, 93, 98, 99, 103, 104, 106, 108, 111, 118, 122, 125, 128, 132, 134, 137, 146, 149, 155, 158, 162, 166, 173, 176, 177, 179, 183, 186, 192, 198, 201, 202, 203, 214, 219, 226, 228, 237, 242, 249

Example

NI(1/10) = (3, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1, ...),
NI(2/10) = (2, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 1, ...) ~ NI(1/10),
NI(3/10) = (2, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, ...),
NI(4/10) = (2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, ...) ~ NI(3/10),
NI(5/10) = (2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, ...),
NI(6/10) = (1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, ...) ~ NI(1/10),
NI(7/10) = (1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, ...) ~ NI(3/10),
NI(8/10) = (1, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 2, ...) ~ NI(1/10),
NI(9/10) = (1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, ...) ~ NI(1/10),
so that there are 3 equivalence classes for n = 10, so the factorial fractility of 10 is 3.
