FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{i=1..n} Sum_{j= 1..i} mu(i*j)^2, where mu is the Moebius function (A008683). - Ridouane Oudra, Oct 17 2019
EXAMPLE
There are seven rectangles with sides <= 5 having a squarefree area: 1 X 1, 1 X 2, 1 X 3, 1 X 5, 2 X 3, 2 X 5 and 3 X 5, whereas 1 X 4, 2 X 2, 2 X 4, 3 X 3, 3 X 4, 4 X 4, 4 X 5 and 5 X 5 are not squarefree; therefore a(5)=7.
