COMMENTS

Number of all differences for n is d(n)-1 = A000005(n)-1. Increments are not necessarily different, so a(n)<=d(n)-1.

EXAMPLE

For n=70, divisors={1,2,5,7,10,14,35,70}; differences={1,3,2,3,4,21,35}; a(70) = number of distinct differences = 6.

MATHEMATICA

a[n_ ] := Length[Union[Drop[d=Divisors[n], 1]-Drop[d, -1]]]
