COMMENTS

Given n points, sort them into the most-square rectangular point lattice possible. Now sort the points into square point lattices of dimension equal to the lesser dimension of the earlier rectangle. a(n) is the number of points left over. a(n) is trivially 0 for prime numbers n (the most-square and only rectangular point lattice on a prime number of points is a linear point lattice). a(n) != 0 iff n is a member of A080363

EXAMPLE

a(6)=1 because the least divisor of 6 greater than sqrt(6) is 3, the greater divisor of 6 less than sqrt(6) is 2 and 3 mod 2 = 1

MATHEMATICA

num[n_] := If[OddQ[DivisorSigma[0, n]], Sqrt[n], Divisors[n][[DivisorSigma[0, n]/2 + 1]]] den[n_] := If[OddQ[DivisorSigma[0, n]], Sqrt[n], Divisors[n][[DivisorSigma[0, n]/2]]] Table[Mod[num[n], den[n]], {n, 1, 128}]
