%N Number of nonzero quartic residues modulo the n-th prime.

%F For odd primes, if prime(n)=4k+1 then a(n)=(prime(n)-1)/4, if prime(n)=4k+3 then a(n)=(prime(n)-1)/2.

%F a(n) = numerator(1/2 - 1/(prime(n)+1)). - _Michel Marcus_, Feb 26 2019

%e a(5)=5 for x^4 (mod 11=prime(5)) equals 1, 3, 4, 5, 9.

%o (PARI) a(n) = numerator(1/2 - 1/(prime(n)+1)); \\ _Michel Marcus_, Feb 26 2019

%o (PARI) a(n) = my(p=prime(n)); sum(k=0, p-1, m = Mod(k,p); m && ispower(Mod(k,p), 4)); \\ _Michel Marcus_, Feb 26 2019

%o (Python)

%o from sympy import prime
