A080998
a(n) is n's rank among the positive integers in terms of centrality -the fraction of n represented by the average gcd of n and the positive integers, or A018804(n)/n^2 (cf. A080997).

EXAMPLE
a(5)=6 because the centrality of 5 is 9/25 (.36), which places it sixth among positive integers in centrality; it ranks behind 1 (whose centrality is 1), 2 (3/4, .75), 3 (5/9, .555...), 4 (1/2, .5) and 6 (5/12, .41666...).
CROSSREFS
