COMMENT

Conditions on p_n mod 4 and mod 5 restrict possible values of a(n). The unknown (?) case is p = 1 mod 4 and (5|p) = 1, equivalently, p = 1 or 9 mod 20, where {1, 2, 4} all occur.

FORMULA

a(n) = A060305(n) / A001602(n). a(n) is always one of {1, 2, 4}.

EXAMPLE

a(4) = 2, as 7 is the 4th prime, the Fibonacci numbers mod 7 have period 16, the first Fibonacci number divisible by 7 is F(8) = 21 = 3*7, and 16 / 8 = 2.

CROSSREFS
