%N A118106 Period of the vector sequence d(n)^k mod n for k=1,2,3,..., where d(n) 
               is the vector of divisors of n.
%C A118106 This sequence is related to the period of sigma_k(n) mod n. Note that 
               a(n)=1 iff n is a power of a prime.
%C A118106 The record period lengths of p-1 occur at n=2p, where p is a prime with 
               primitive root 2 (A001122). - T. D. Noe, Oct 25 2007

%e A118106 a(35)=12 because d(35)=(1,5,7,35) and (1,5,7,35)^k (mod 35) is the sequence 
               of vectors (1,5,7,0), (1,25,14,0), (1,20,28,0), (1,30,21,0), (1,10,

               0), (1,10,28,0), (1,15,21,0), (1,5,7,0),..., which has a period of 
               12.
