A039769 Composite integers k such that gcd(phi(k), k - 1) > 1. 5

%N Composite integers k such that gcd(phi(k), k - 1) > 1.

%C Previous name was: phi(a(n)) and (a(n) - 1) have a common factor but are distinct.

%C Equivalently, numbers n that are Fermat pseudoprimes to some base b, 1 < b < n. A nonprime number n is a Fermat pseudoprime to base b if b^(n-1) = 1 (mod n). Cf. A181780. - _Geoffrey Critzer_, Apr 04 2015

%C A071904, the odd composite numbers, is a subset of this sequence. - _Peter Munn_, May 15 2017

%C Lehmer's totient problem can be stated as finding a number in this sequence such that gcd(a(n) - 1, phi(a(n)) = phi(n). By the original definition of this sequence, such a number (if it exists) would not be in this sequence. - _Alonso del Arte_, Sep 07 2018, clarified Sep 14 2018

%H Robert Israel, <a href="/A039769/b039769.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000</a>

%e phi(21) = 12 and gcd(12, 20) = 4 > 1, hence 21 is in the sequence.

%e phi(22) = 10 but gcd(10, 21) = 1, so 22 is not in the sequence.
