a(n) = Sum_{k=1..phi(n)-1} t(n,k)*t(n,k+1), where t(n,k) is the k-th positive integer which is coprime to n and phi(n) is the number of positive integers which are <= n and are coprime to n.

%N a(n) = Sum_{k=1..phi(n)-1} t(n,k)*t(n,k+1), where t(n,k) is the k-th positive integer which is coprime to n and phi(n) is the number of positive integers which are <= n and are coprime to n.

%C All primes are records and there exists records which are not primes, but they are rare (see A120033). - _Robert G. Wilson v_, Jun 05 2006

%e The positive integers which are <= 8 and are coprime to 8 are 1, 3, 5 and 7. So a(8) = 1*3 + 3*5 + 5*7 = 53.
