Abstract
Let (). We call "the orbit of the integer ", the set and we put . Let be the set of the integers whose orbit contains and is, in the following sense, about well distributed modulo between the six elements of the set (the elements of \{1,\dots,18\} that are odd and not divisible by ). More precisely: We prove that has density in . Consequently, if the conjecture is true, most of the positive integers satisfy
