%N Add up the positive integers that are coprime to n in order (starting at 1). a(n) is the smallest such partial sum that is >= n.

%C a(2) = 1+3. Every other a(n) of the sequence involves only adding integers that are <= n.

%e 12 is coprime to 1, 5, 7, 11,... Now 1 = 1, 1+5 = 6, 1+5+7 = 13, 1+5+7+11 = 24, ... 13 is the smallest such partial sum that is >= 12. So a(12) = 13.
