EXAMPLE
a(4)=22 since the primitive subsets of (1,2,3,4) are ( ) (1) (2) (3) (4) (2,3) (3,4) and the sum of the elements in these subsets is 22.
CROSSREFS
A051026 gives the number of primitive subsets. A087077 gives the number of elements in the primitive subsets. A087081 gives the sum of the elements in the coprime subsets.
