Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

A118982
a(1)=1. For m>=0 and 1<=k<=2^m, a(2^m +k) = number of earlier terms of the sequence that are coprime to k.

EXAMPLE
Since 16 = 2^3 +8, a(16) equals the number of terms among (a(1),a(2),...a(15)) that are coprime to 8. Since the terms 1,1,9 and 3 are the only earlier terms coprime to 8, a(16) = 4.
