Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

A003972
Moebius transform of A003961; a(n) = phi(A003961(n)), where A003961 shifts the prime factorization of n one step towards the larger primes.

FORMULA
Multiplicative with a(p^e) = (q-1)q^(e-1) where q = nextPrime(p). - David W. Wilson, Sep 01 2001
a(n) = A000010(A003961(n)) = A037225(A108228(n)) = A037225(A048673(n)-1). - Antti Karttunen, Aug 20 2020
Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ c * n^2, where c = (3/Pi^2) * Product_{p prime} ((p^2-p)/(p^2 - nextPrime(p)) = 1.2547593344... . - Amiram Eldar, Nov 18 2022
