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”).

a(0)=1. a(n) = number of terms among terms a(0) through a(n-1) of the sequence which are coprime to n(n+1)/2.

EXAMPLE
Among terms a(0),a(1),...a(8) there are 5 terms coprime to 9*10/2 = 45. (These terms are a(0)=1, a(1)=1, a(2)=2, a(3)=2 and a(4)=2.) So a(9) = 5.

f[l_List] := Block[{n = Length[l]}, Append[l, Length @ Select[l, GCD[n*(n + 1)/2, # ] == 1 &]]]; Nest[f, {1}, 80] (* Ray Chandler, Jun 29 2008 *)
a[0] = 1; a[n_] := a[n] = Count[ GCD[ Table[ a[i], {i, 0, n - 1}], n(n + 1)/2], 1]; Table[ a[n], {n, 0, 77}] (* Robert G. Wilson v *)
