Find eight different numbers n with phi(n) = 240.



phi(n) = the number of positive integers less than or equal to n, that are relatively prime to n.

Surely you are aware that you must show what you have tried yourself before anyone can give suggestions?
 
12^12 = (3^12)(2^24)

phi(12^12) = phi(3^12) * phi(2^24) = 2^(24-1) * (2-1) *3^12 *(3-1)
= 2^23 * 3^12 * 2 = 2^24 * 3^12
