Formula

Sum mu(d)*A056286(n/d) where d|n.

Maple

with(numtheory):
b:= proc(n, k) option remember; `if`(n=0, 1,
      add(mobius(n/d)*k^d, d=divisors(n))/n)
    end:
a:= n-> add(b(n, 6-j)*binomial(6, j)*(-1)^j, j=0..6):
seq(a(n), n=1..30);  # Alois P. Heinz, Jan 25 2015

Mathematica

b[n_, k_] := b[n, k] = If[n==0, 1, DivisorSum[n, MoebiusMu[n/#]*k^# &]/n];
a[n_] := Sum[b[n, 6 - j]*Binomial[6, j]*(-1)^j, {j, 0, 6}];
