%N The number of pairs of numbers below n that, when generating a Fibonacci-like sequence modulo n, do not contain zero.

%C a(n) = 0 iff n is in A064414, a(n) is not equal to zero iff n is in A230457.

%C a(n) + A232656(n) = n^2.

%e The sequence 2,1,3,4,2,1 is the sequence of Lucas numbers modulo 5. Lucas numbers are never divisible by 5. The 4 pairs (2,1), (1,3), (3,4), (4,2) are the only pairs that can generate a sequence modulo 5 that doesn't contain zeros. Thus, a(5) = 4.

%e Any Fibonacci like sequence contains elements divisible by 2, 3, or 4. Thus, a(2) = a(3) = a(4) = 0.

%t fibLike[list_] := Append[list, list[[-1]] + list[[-2]]]; Table[Count[Flatten[Table[Count[Nest[fibLike, {n, m}, k^2]/k, _Integer], {n, k-1}, {m, k-1}]], 0], {k, 70}]
