[seqfan] Re: A conjecture of Saha and Karthik.

In which case, perhaps also n/a(n) should be added.

Perhaps the sequence could be

%N Pisano period of n^2 divided by Pisano period of n.
%S 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 7, 8, 9, 5, 11, 1, 13, 7, 15, 16, 17, 9, 19, 10, 
21,
11, 23, 4, 25, 13, 27, 7, 29, 5, 31, 32, 33, 17, 35, 9, 37, 19, 39, 40, 
41,
7, 43, 44, 45, 23, 47, 16, 49, 25, 17, 26, 53, 27, 55, 14, 19, 29, 59, 
5,
61, 31, 63, 64, 65, 11, 67, 34, 23, 35, 71, 36, 73, 37, 75, 76, 77, 13, 
79,
80, 81, 41, 83, 7, 85, 43, 87, 88, 89, 45, 13, 23, 31, 47, 95, 32, 97, 
49,
99, 50, ...

with the associated conjecture
%C Conjecture (Saha & Karthik): a(n) = 1 only for n = 1, 6, and 12.

Note also that a(n) | n.

Should I submit this?
