%N a(n) is the total number of noncentral divisors in all positive integers <= n.

%C The original name was: Partial sums of A161840.

%F a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} (tau(k)-2 + (tau(k) mod 2)), tau = A000005.

%F a(n) ~ n * (log(n) + 2*gamma - 3), where gamma is Euler's constant (A001620). - _Amiram Eldar_, Jan 19 2024
