a(n) is the number of triangular numbers, from among (T(1), T(2), T(3), ..., T(n)), which are coprime to T(n), where T(n) = n(n+1)/2 is the n-th triangular number.

%N a(n) is the number of triangular numbers, from among (T(1), T(2), T(3), ..., T(n)), which are coprime to T(n), where T(n) = n(n+1)/2 is the n-th triangular number.

%e T(10) = 10*11/2 = 55. The six triangular numbers which are coprime to 55 and are <= 55 are T(1)=1, T(2)=3, T(3)=6, T(6)=21, T(7)=28 and T(8)=36. So a(10) = 6.
