COMMENTS
a(n) is 1/6 of the number of ways to select three points (x,y), (u,v), (p,q) with gcd(x-u,y-v) = gcd(u-p,v-q) = gcd(p-x,q-y) = 1 and 0 <= x, y, u, v, p, q <= n in an n X n grid.
EXAMPLE
See the linked illustration: a(2) = 36 because there are 36 ways to select three distinct points in a square grid with side length n that satisfy the condition.
