The minimum number of states required in a DFA to recognize a language L with alphabet {a} that depends on a positive integer constant n is n + 1. This is because the DFA needs to distinguish between strings of different lengths modulo n, requiring a unique state for each remainder when divided by n, plus an initial state.
