COMMENTS
See A066272 for the definition of anti-divisor; that sequence gives the number of anti-divisors m < n of n.
All the anti-divisors m < n of prime n must be coprime to n, since any integer k > 1 must either divide or be coprime to prime n, and since no anti-divisor m can divide n.
EXAMPLE
a(3) = 1 and A066272(3) = 1 because the set of anti-divisors of 3 = {2} and 2 is coprime to 3.
a(6) = 0 and A066272(6) = 1 because the set of anti-divisors of 6 = {4} but 4 is not coprime to 6.
a(12) = 1 and A066272(12) = 2 because the set of anti-divisors of 12 = {5, 8}, but only 5 is coprime to 12.
