COMMENTS
a(n) = the number of numbers of set {1, prime} (A008578(n)) less than n-th composite numbers (A002808(n)). a(n) = inverse (frequency distribution) sequence of A162177(n), i.e. number of terms of sequence A162177(n) less than n for n >= 1. a(n) = A002808(n) + A162177(n) - A158611(n+1) for n >= 1. a(n) = A002808(n) + A162177(n) - A008578(n) for n >= 1.
