Examples

			Modulo 5, powers of 1,6,11 etc. are 1,1,1,1,1,1,...; of 2,7,12 etc. are 1,2,4,3,1,2,4,3,...; of 3,8,13 etc. are 1,3,4,2,1,3,4,2,...; of 4,9,14 etc. are 1,4,1,4,1,4,...; of 5,10,15 etc. are 1,0,0,0,0,... So the eventual period lengths are 1,4,4,2,1 giving three distinct lengths, so a(5)=3.

Formula

Number of divisors of reduced totient function: a(n) = A000005(A002322(n)).
Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ n * exp(c(n) * (log(n)/log(log(n)))(1/2) * (1 + O(log(log(log(n)))/log(log(n))))), where c(n) is a number in the interval (1/7, 2*sqrt(2))*exp(-gamma/2) and gamma is A001620 (Luca and Pomerance, 2007). - Amiram Eldar, Oct 29 2022
