Comments

Number of numbers between 1 and n-1 coprime to n(n+1).

It is conjectured that every positive integer appears. - Jon Perry, Dec 12 2002

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..80.

Formula

From Reinhard Zumkeller, May 02 2006: (Start)

a(A000040(n)-1) = A000010(A000040(n)-1);

a(A000040(n)) = A000010(A000040(n)+1)-1;

a(A118854(n)-1) = a(A118854(n)). (End)

Example

a(8) = 3 because 1, 5 and 7 are all relatively prime to both 8 and 9.
a(9) counts those numbers coprime to 90, i.e. 1 and 7, hence a(9)=2

Mathematica
