COMMENTS

Number of positive rational numbers of height at most n, where the height of p/q is max(p, q) when p and q are relatively prime positive integers. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Jul 05 2012

The number of ordered pairs (i,j) with 1<=i<=n, 1<=j<=n, gcd(i,j)=d} is a(floor(n/d)). - N. J. A. Sloane, Jul 29 2012

FORMULA

a(n) = 2*( Sum phi(j), j=1..n ) - 1.

a(n) = n^2 - Sum a([ n/j ]), j=2..n.

a(n) = 2*A015614(n) + 1. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Apr 08 2006

a(n) = 2*A002088(n) - 1. - Hugo van der Sanden, Nov 22 2008

a(n) ~ (1/Zeta(2)) * n^2 = (6/pi^2) * n^2 as n goes to infinity (zeta is the Riemann zeta function, A013661, and the constant 6/pi^2 is 0.607927..., A059956). - Ahmed Fares (ahmedfares(AT)my-deja.com), Jul 18 2001

a(n) = sum(k=1, n, mu(k)*floor(n/k)^2). - Benoit Cloitre, May 11 2003

(Haskell)

a018805 n = length [()| x <- [1..n], y <- [1..n], gcd x y == 1]
