%N Consider all compositions of n = a+b+c+..., as 2 or more positive integers a,b,c,... > 0. a(n) is the number of distinct values taken by lcm(a, a+b, a+b+c, ..., n).
%F Conjecture: a(n) = A000005(A002944(n)), for n >= 2. - _Ridouane Oudra_, Aug 24 2019
%e Examples: for n=3 the a(3) = 2 distinct values are 3, 6. The compositions are 1+2, 2+1, and 1+1+1. The values of the lcm are lcm(1,1+2)=3, lcm(2,2+1)=6, and lcm(1,1+1,1+1+1)=6.
