COMMENTS
It seems that for each n, a(n) exists and the set An={m|n*pi(m)=phi(m)} is finite, for example A1={2,3,4,8,10,14,20,90}(elements of A1 are terms of the sequence A037171), A2={11,13,27,39,63,122,124, 136,152,176,224,322,364,410,460,1086,1164,3432,3612},... . According to the definition, a(n) is the smallest element of An. For n<19, 3 doesn't divide a(n), is this true for all terms of the sequence?
EXAMPLE
a(18) = 189963073 because 18*pi(189963073) = phi(189963073) and for m < 189963073 18*pi(m) != phi(m).
MATHEMATICA
a[n_]:=(For[m=1, n*PrimePi[m]!=EulerPhi[m], m++ ]; m); Do[Print[a[n]], {n, 18}]
PROG
(PARI) a(n) = my(m=1); while (n*primepi(m) != eulerphi(m), m++); m; \\ Michel Marcus, Oct 31 2025
