%N Largest integer less than 12 and coprime to n.

%C Values in this sequence are 1, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11; the average value is 3569/330 = 10.81515.... - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Aug 19 2016

%H Harvey P. Dale, <a href="/A231472/b231472.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..1000</a>

%e a(1..10)=11 because this is the largest integer less than 12 and it is coprime to n=1,...,10.

%e a(11)=10 because 11 is not coprime to 11 but 10 is.

%e a(22)=9 because 11 and 10 are not coprime to 22=2*11.

%e a(2310)=1 because 2310=2*3*5*7*11 is not coprime to any number n>1, n<12.
