FORMULA
G.f.: x/(1-x) + x^2/(1-x^2) + x^3/(1-x^3).
a(n) = a(n-6) = a(-n).
a(n) = 11/6 - (1/2)*(-1)^n - (1/3)*cos(2*Pi*n/3) - (1/3)*3^(1/2)*sin(2*Pi*n/3). - Richard Choulet, Dec 12 2008
a(n) = Sum_{k=1..1} cos(n*(k - 1)/1*2*Pi)/1 + Sum_{k=1..2} cos(n*(k - 1)/2*2*Pi)/2 + Sum_{k=1..3} cos(n*(k - 1)/3*2*Pi)/3. - Mats Granvik, Sep 09 2012
a(n) = log_2(gcd(n,2) + gcd(n,6)). - Gary Detlefs, Feb 15 2014
a(n) = Sum_{d|n, d<=3} 1. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Oct 30 2023
EXAMPLE
The divisors of 6 are 1, 2, 3 and 6. Of those divisors, 1, 2 and 3 are <= 3. That's three divisors, therefore, a(6) = 3. - David A. Corneth, Sep 30 2017
