a(n+12) = a(n);

a(n) = A000007(A010881(n));

a(A168186(n)) = 1; a(A008594(n)) = 0;

A033444(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} a(k)*(n-k).

Index entries for characteristic functions

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1).

Formula

For the general case: the characteristic function of numbers that are not multiples of m is a(n) = floor((n-1)/m) - floor(n/m) + 1, m,n > 0. - Boris Putievskiy, May 08 2013
