%C For more information see the Comments in A061020.

%C a(n) is the number of integers j such that 1 <= j <= n and gcd(n,j) is a perfect square. For example, a(12) = 6 because |{1,4,5,7,8,11}|=6 and the respective GCDs with 12 are 1,4,1,1,4,1, which are squares. - _Geoffrey Critzer_, Feb 16 2015

%C If m is squarefree (A005117), then a(m) = A000010(m) where A000010 is the Euler totient function. - _Michel Marcus_, Nov 08 2017

%C Also it appears that the primorials (A002110) is the sequence of indices of minimum records for a(n)/n, and these records are A038110(n)/A060753(n). - _Michel Marcus_, Nov 09 2017

%C Also called rho(n). When rho(n) | n, then n is called k-imperfect, with k = n/rho(n), cf. A127724. - _M. F. Hasler_, Feb 13 2020
