Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

A339907
Odd squarefree numbers k > 1 for which the bigomega(phi(k)) <= bigomega(k-1), where bigomega gives the number of prime divisors, counted with multiplicity.

COMMENTS
Terms of A003961(A019565(A339906(i))) [or equally, of A019565(2*A339906(i))], for i = 1.., sorted into ascending order.
Natural numbers n > 2 that satisfy equation k * phi(n) = n - 1 (for some integer k) all occur in this sequence. Lehmer conjectured that there are no composite solutions.
