%N a(n) = floor(3n/4).
%C The cyclic pattern (and numerator of the gf) is computed using Euclid's algorithm for GCD.
%C For n >= 2, a(n) is the number of different integers that can be written as floor(k^2/n) for k = 1, 2, 3, ..., n-1. Generalization of the 1st problem proposed during the 15th Balkan Mathematical Olympiad in 1998 where the question was asked for n = 1998 with a(1998) = 1498. - _Bernard Schott_, Apr 22 2022
