Comments

The Fibonacci numbers mod n for any n are periodic - see A001175 for period lengths. - Ron Knott, Jan 05 2005

a(n) = number of nonzeros in n-th row of triangle A128924. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jan 16 2014

Example

a(8)=6 since the Fibonacci numbers, 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,... when divided by 8 have remainders 0,1,1,2,3,5,0,5,5,2,7,1 (repeatedly) which only contains the remainders 0,1,2,3,5 and 7, i.e., 6 remainders, so a(8)=6.
a(11)=7 since Fibonacci numbers reduced modulo 11 are {0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 10}.

Mathematica

a[n_] := Module[{v = {1, 2}}, If[n<8, n, While[v[[-1]] != 1 || v[[-2]] != 0, AppendTo[v, Mod[v[[-1]] + v[[-2]], n]]]; v // Union // Length]]; Array[a, 100] (* Jean-François Alcover, Feb 15 2018, after Charles R Greathouse IV *)
