Highly Cototient Number


An integer n>1 is said to be highly cototient if the equation

 x-phi(x)=n

has more solutions than the equations x-phi(x)=k for all 1<k<n, where phi is the totient function.

The first few highly cototient numbers are 2, 4, 8, 23, 35, 47, 59, 63, 83, 89, ... (OEIS A100827).

The first few prime highly cototient numbers are 2, 23, 47, 59, 83, 89, 113, 167, 269, 389, 419, 509, ... (OEIS A105440).
