A096226 a(n) is the least exponent k > 1 such that m^k is congruent to m modulo n for all natural numbers m, or a(n) = 1 if no such k exists. 0

%N a(n) is the least exponent k > 1 such that m^k is congruent to m modulo n for all natural numbers m, or a(n) = 1 if no such k exists.

%C If n is squarefree, a(n) = 1+A002322(n) = 1+A011773(n). Otherwise a(n) = 1. a(n) = n iff n is prime.

%F For squarefree n = p1*p2*...*pj, a(n) = 1+lcm(p1-1, p2-1, ..., pj-1).

%e a(35) = 13 because 35 divides 1^13-1, 2^13-2, 3^13-3, etc.; but 35 does not divide 2^2-2, 2^3-3, 2^4-2, ..., 2^11-2 or 2^12-2.

%Y Cf. A002322, A011773.
