The terms 1 and 2 correspond to degenerate polygons.
These are also the numbers for which phi(n) is a power of 2.

FORMULA
|
Computable as numbers such that cototient-of-totient equals the totient-of-totient: Flatten[Position[Table[co[eu[n]]-eu[eu[n]], {n, 1, 10000}], 0]] eu[m]=EulerPhi[m], co[m]=m-eu[m]. - Labos E. (labos(AT)ana.sote.hu), Oct 19 2001
Any product of 2^k and distinct Fermat primes (primes of the form 2^(2^m)+1). - Sergio Pimentel (ferdiego(AT)cox-internet.com), Apr 30 2004, edited by Frank Adams-Watters (FrankTAW(AT)Netscape.net), Jun 16 2006

EXAMPLE
|
34 is a term of this series because a circle can be divided exactly in 34 parts. 7 is not.
