Formula

a(n) = A018808(n) - A018809(n) = A018810(n) + A018811(n) + A018812(n) + A018813(n)+....

Mathematica

f[n_, k_] := Sum[x = kx/k; y = ky/k; If[IntegerQ[x] && IntegerQ[y] && CoprimeQ[x, y], (n - Abs[kx])(n - Abs[ky]), 0], {kx, -n + 1, n - 1}, {ky, -n + 1, n - 1}];
a[n_] := (f[n, 2] - f[n, 3])/2;
