%F From _Benoit Cloitre_, Dec 19 2002: (Start)

%F a(0) = 0, a(12n+i) = a(n)+i for 0 <= i <= 11.

%F a(n) = n-11*(Sum_{k>0} floor(n/12^k)) = n-11*A064459(n). (End)

%F a(n) = A138530(n,12) for n > 11. - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Mar 26 2008

%F Sum_{n>=1} a(n)/(n*(n+1)) = 12*log(12)/11 (Shallit, 1984). - _Amiram Eldar_, Jun 03 2021

%e a(20) = 1 + 8 = 9 because 20 is written as 18 base 12.

%t Table[Plus @@ IntegerDigits[n, 12], {n, 0, 85}] (* or *)

%t Nest[ Flatten[ #1 /. a_Integer -> Table[a + i, {i, 0, 11}]] &, {0}, 2] (* _Robert G. Wilson v_, Jul 27 2006 *)
