FORMULA
Multiplicative with a(5) = 1, a(5^e) = 5 if e >= 2; for other primes p, a(p^e) = 5 if p == 1 (mod 5), a(p^e) = 1 otherwise.
If the multiplicative group of integers modulo n is isomorphic to C_{k_1} x C_{k_2} x ... x C_{k_m}, where k_i divides k_j for i < j; then a(n) = Product_{i=1..m} gcd(5, k_i).
EXAMPLE
Solutions to x^5 == 1 (mod 11): x == 1, 3, 4, 5, 9 (mod 11).
Solutions to x^5 == 1 (mod 25): x == 1, 6, 11, 16, 21 (mod 25) (x == 1 (mod 5)).
Solutions to x^5 == 1 (mod 31): x == 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 (mod 31).
