COMMENTS

The old entry with this sequence number was a duplicate of A008831.

a(n) is also the number of integers prime to n in the interval [n+1, 5n-1]. [From W. Bomfim (webonfim(AT)bol.com.br), Oct 10 2009]

REFERENCES

FORMULA

a(1) = 3; thereafter a(n) = 4*phi(n) = 4*A000010(n).

EXAMPLE

The three rational numbers of height 1 are 0, 1 and -1.
