Periodic with period = 12. - Harvey P. Dale, Jun 19 2014
From Jesse Fiedler, Aug 23 2019: (Start)
If a(n) = 1, then n is odd and is not divisible by 3.
For n <= 7919 and a(n)=1, approximately 37.8% of values of n are prime.
For n <= 104729, and a(n)=1, approximately 28.64% of values of n are prime.
