%N Period of Kronecker symbol modulo n.

%C From _Jianing Song_, Nov 24 2018: (Start)

%C The sequence {Kronecker(k,n)} forms a Dirichlet character modulo n if and only if n !== 2 (mod 4).

%C Let n = 2^t*s, s odd, then a(n) = A117888(n) if and only if t is odd or s == 1 (mod 4) (or both); a(n) = A117889(n) if and only if t is odd or s == 3 (mod 4) (or both). (End)

%H Jianing Song, <a href="/A302138/b302138.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000</a>

%H Wikipedia, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kronecker_symbol">Kronecker symbol</a>.

%F Multiplicative with a(p^e) = p, p > 2; a(2^e) = 2 for even e and 8 for odd e.

%F a(n) = A007947(n) if A007814(n) is even, else 4*A007947(n).

%F Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ c * n^2, where c = (49/50) * Product_{p prime} (1 - 1/(p*(p+1))) = (49/50) * A065463 = 0.690353... . - _Amiram Eldar_, Dec 01 2022

%e The Kronecker symbol modulo 2 is 1, 0, -1, 0, -1, 0, 1, 0 with period 8, so a(2) = 8.

%e The Kronecker symbol modulo 9 is 1, 1, 0 with period 3, so a(9) = 3.

%o (PARI) a(n)={my(f=factor(n)); prod(i=1, #f~, if(f[i,1]==2 && f[i,2]%2, 8, f[i,1]))} \\ _Andrew Howroyd_, Apr 29 2018

%Y Cf. A007947, A065463.

%Y Cf. A117888 (period of Kronecker(n,k)), A117889 (period of Kronecker(-n,k)).
