a(n)=1 iff n=A007694(k) for some k.
Numerator of phi(n)/n=Prod_{p|n} (1-1/p). - Franz Vrabec, Aug 26 2005
From Wolfdieter Lang, May 12 2011: (Start)
For n>=2, a(n)/A109395(n) = sum(((-1)^r)*sigma_r,r=0..M(n)) with the elementary symmetric functions (polynomials) sigma_r of the indeterminates {1/p_1,...,1/p_M(n)} if n = prod((p_j)^e(j),j=1..M(n)) where M(n)=A001221(n) and sigma_0=1.
This follows by expanding the above given product for phi(n)/n.
The n-th member of this rational sequence 1/2, 2/3, 1/2, 4/5, 1/3, 6/7, 1/2, 2/3, 2/5,... is also (2/n^2)*sum(k,with 1<=k<n and gcd(k,n)=1), n>=2.
Therefore, this scaled sum depends only on the distinct prime factors of n.
See also A023896. Proof via PIE (principle of inclusion and exclusion). (End)
In the sequence of rationals r(n)=eulerphi(n)/n: 1, 1/2, 2/3, 1/2, 4/5, 1/3, 6/7, 1/2, 2/3, 2/5, 10/11, 1/3, ... one can observe that new values are obtained for squarefree indices (A005117); while for a nonsquarefree number n (A013929), r(n) = r(A007947(n)), where A007947(n) is the squarefree kernel of n. - Michel Marcus, Jul 04 2015
