%N Smallest composite k such that (n^k - 1)/(n - 1) == 1 (mod k) for n > 1.
%C The smallest repunit pseudoprime to base n.
%C a(n) is the smallest composite k such that n^k == n (mod (n-1)k).
%C a(n) is the smallest composite k such that (n^k - 1)/(n - 1) is a Fermat pseudoprime to base n.

%C If n is composite, then a(n) <= n. There are only finitely many primes p such that a(p) > p. It seems that a(n) < n for all sufficiently large n. - _Thomas Ordowski_, Sep 10 2018
