Formula

a(n) = A186202(n) - A001465(n). - Andrew Howroyd, Jul 04 2018

Mathematica

a[n_] := Sum[If[PrimeQ[p], Sum[If[p > 2 || Mod[k, 2] == 0, n!/(k!*(n - k*p)!*p^k)/(p - 1), 0], {k, 1, n/p}], 0], {p, 2, n}];
Array[a, 24] (* Jean-François Alcover, Jul 06 2018, after Andrew Howroyd *)

Prog

(PARI) a(n)={sum(p=2, n, if(isprime(p), sum(k=1, n\p, if(p>2||k%2==0, n!/(k!*(n-k*p)!*p^k)))/(p-1)))}
