COMMENTS

a(n) is also the number of multisets of integers ranging from 1 to n, such that the sum of the members of the multiset is congruent to 0 mod n, and no submultiset exists whose sum of members is congruent to 0 mod n. These multisets can be thought of as partitions of n in modular arithmetic, thus this sequence can be thought of as a modular arithmetic version of the partition numbers (Cf. A000041). - Andrew Weimholt, Jan 31 2011
