A075989 Number of k satisfying 1<=k<=n and {n/k} >= 1/2, where {n/k} is the fractional part of n/k, i.e., {n/k} = n/k - floor(n/k).

Formula

a(n) + A075988(n) = n-d(n), where d(n) = A000005(n) is the number of divisors of n.

a(n) = (Sum_{k=1..n} floor(2*n/(2*k+1)) - floor(2*n/(2*k+2)); a(n) = (2*(log 2)-1)*n + O(n^(1/2)). Conjecture: a(n) = (2*(log 2)-1)*n + O(n^(1/4 + epsilon)) like for the divisor and Circle problems. - Benoit Cloitre, Oct 21 2012

Conjecture: Let f(a,b)=1, if (a+b) mod |a-b| != (a mod |a-b|)+(b mod |a-b|), and 0 otherwise. a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n-1} f(n,k). - Benedict W. J. Irwin, Sep 22 2016

Example

For n = 5, the fractional parts of k/n are 0, 1/2, 2/3, 1/4, 0; a(5) = 2 counts 1/2 and 2/3. A075988(5) = 1 counts 1/4 and A000005(5) = 2 counts the 0's.
