COMMENTS
The reduced residue system modulo n used here is the set of numbers k from the set {0,1,...,n-1} which satisfy gcd(k,n)=1. There are phi(n) = A000010(n) such numbers k.
This is the m=4 member of a family of sequences, call them rmnS(m) (reduced mod n sum), with entries rmnS(m;n):=sum(binomial(k+m-1,m),0<=k<=n-1 with gcd(k,n)=1), m>=0, n>=1. Recall gcd(0,n)=n.
The members for m=0, 1, 2 and 3 are A000010, A023896, A127415, and A189918, respectively, where in the m=1 and 2 cases the offset for n=1 should be taken as 0 (not 1).
FORMULA
a(n) = sum(A000332(k+3), 0<=k<=n-1, gcd(k,n)=1), n>=1.
a(n) = (n/6!)*(n*(6*n^3+45*n^2+110*n+90)*P(1,n) + 5*(2*n^2+9*n+11)*P(-1,n) - P(-3,n)), n>=2, with P(k,n):= J(k,n)/n^k, where J(k,n) is the Jordan function (see A000010, A007434, A059376 - A059378, A069091 - A069095).
EXAMPLE
a(6) = A000332(4) + A000292(8)= 1 + 70 = 71.
a(6) = (6/6!)*(6*3666*(1/3) + 5*137*2 - 182) = 71.
a(12) = A000332(4) + A000332(8) + A000332(10) + A000332(14) = 1 + 70 + 210 + 1001 = 1282.
a(12) = (12/6!)*(12*18258*(1/3) + 5*407*2 - 182) = 1282.
PROG
