FORMULA

Multiplicative with a(p^e) = p^(e-1) if p = 2; (p-2)*p^(e-1) if p > 2. - David W. Wilson, Aug 01, 2001.

MATHEMATICA

a[n_] := If[ Head[ r=Reduce[ GCD[x, n] == 1 && GCD[x+2, n] == 1 && 1 <= x <= n, x, Integers]] === Or, Length[r], 1]; Table[a[n], {n, 1, 81}] (* From Jean-François Alcover, Nov 22 2011 *)

PROG

(PARI) a(n)=my(k=valuation(n, 2), f=factor(n>>k)); prod(i=1, #f[, 1], (f[i, 1]-2)*f[i, 1]^(f[i, 2]-1))<<max(0, k-1) \\ Charles R Greathouse IV, Nov 22 2011

(Haskell)

a002472 n = length [x | x <- [1..n], gcd n x == 1, gcd n (x + 2) == 1]
