%F A007732 Note that if n=r*s where r is a power of 2 and s is odd then a(n)=a(s).
Also if n=r*s where r is a power of 5 and s is not divisible by 5
then a(n) = a(s). So we just need a(n) for n not divisible by 2 or
5. This is the smallest number m such that n divides 10^m - 1; m
is a divisor of phi(n), where phi = A000010.
%F A007732 phi(n) = n-1 only if n is prime and since a(n) divides phi(n), a(n) can
only equal n-1 if n is prime. - Scott Hemphill (hemphill(AT)alumni.caltech.edu),
