Formula

a(n) = n - A257301(n). - Stanislav Sykora, Apr 21 2015

a(2^n) = A046630(n). a(3^n) = A046631(n). a(5^n) = A046633(n). a(7^n) = A046635(n). - R. J. Mathar, Sep 28 2017

Multiplicative with a(p^e) = 1 + Sum_{i=0..floor((e-1)/3)} (p - 1)*p^(e-3*i-1)/k where k = 3 if (p = 3 and 3*i + 1 = e) or (p mod 3 = 1) otherwise k = 1. - Andrew Howroyd, Jul 17 2018
