COMMENT

A base-2 Fermat pseudoprime is a composite number x such that 2^x = 2 mod x. For such an x, ord(2,x) is the smallest positive integer m such that 2^m = 1 mod x. For a number x to have order n, it must be a factor of 2^n-1 and not be a factor of 2^r-1 for r<n. Sequence A086250 lists the smallest pseudoprime of order n. Note that there is no pseudoprime of order n when 2^n-1 is prime. However that does not explain why there are none for 12, 27, 49 and 77.

EXAMPLE

a(10) = 1 there is only 1 pseudoprime, 341 = 11*31, having order 10; that is, 2^10 = 1 mod 341.
