Formula

a(n) = (1+A057660(n))/2.

a(n) = A051193(n)/n.

a(n) = Sum_{d|n} psi(d), where psi(m) = is the sum of totatives of m (A023896). - Jaroslav Krizek, Dec 28 2016

a(n) = Sum_{i=1..n} denominator(n/i). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Feb 26 2017

G.f.: x/(2*(1 - x)) + (1/2)*Sum_{k>=1} k*phi(k)*x^k/(1 - x^k), where phi() is the Euler totient function (A000010). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Aug 31 2017

If p is prime, then a(p) = T(p-1) + 1 = p(p-1)/2 + 1, where T(n) = n(n+1)/2 is the n-th triangular number (A000217). - David Terr, Feb 10 2019
