the count of terms in cyclotomic polynomial bigPhi(n,x), say c,
and the largest prime factor of n, say p,
are known to coïncide for all n except those in a beheaded A070537= [[ 1 ]]
,15,21,30,33,35,39,42,45...
in which case p<c
(conjecture)
It seems that A070537 also equals the values of n where w(n) is *larger*
than the largest prime factor of n.
with
w(n)=1+ InverseMoebiusTransform( seq_z   )
with seq_z equal to the sequence defined by  mu(n) Sum(d|n,  phi(d) mu(d) )

we get p<c<w  OR  p=c=w
I don't see an evident link, do you?

Wouter.
