(Greetings from The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences!)
A002322 Reduced totient function psi(n): least k such that x^k == 1 (mod n) for all x prime to n; also known as the Carmichael lambda function (exponent of unit group mod n); also called the universal exponent of n.

FORMULA

If M=2^e*P1^e1*P2^e2*...*Pk^ek, lambda(2^e) =2^(e-1) if e=1 or 2, =2^(e-2) if e>2; lambda(M)=LCM{ lambda(2^e), (P1-1)*P1^(e1-1), (P2-1)*P2^(e2-1), ..., (Pk-1)*Pk^(ek-1)}.
