Formula

a(n) = (1/(8*n)) * Sum_{odd d divides n} mu(d)*8^(n/d), where mu is the Möbius function A008683.

Mathematica

a[n_] := DivisorSum[n, MoebiusMu[#] * 8^(n/#) &, OddQ[#] &] / (8*n); Array[a, 24] (* Amiram Eldar, Oct 04 2023 *)

Prog

(PARI) a(n) = sumdiv(n, d, if (d%2, moebius(d)*8^(n/d)))/(8*n); \\ Michel Marcus, Mar 11 2018
