FORMULA

A001175(n)=A001176(n)*a(n) for n >= 1.

a(n)=n iff n is of form 5^k or 12*5^k, a(n)=n-1 iff n is in A106535, a(n)=n+1 iff n is in A000057, a(n)=n+5 iff n is in 5*A000057, ... - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Feb 10 2007

a(1)=1, a(2)=3, a(4)=6, and for e>2 a(2^e) = 3*2^(e-2); a(5^e) = 5^e; and if p is an odd prime not 5, then a(p^e) = p^(e-1)*m(p). If p is a prime of the form 10n +/- 1 then m(p) is a divisor of p-1. If q is a prime of the form 10n +/- 3 then m(q) is a divisor of q+1. If (r,s)=1 then m(r*s)=LCM(m(r),m(s)). Solutions to F_k == 0 (mod n) are given by k == 0 (mod a(n)).
