The author proves that each element of a cyclic group of order n is product of at most 3 (not necessarily unequal) primitive elements. This is equivalent to saying that each integer a is (modulo n) sum of at most 3 (not necessarily unequal) integers prime to n. You need three integers iff n even, (a,n) odd and \(>1\).
