%F a(n) = n*gcd(n,2)/gcd(n,2^n).

%F a(2*n) = 2*A000265(2*n); a(2*n+1) = A000265(2*n+1).

%F O.g.f.: x*(1 + 4*x + x^2)/(1 - x^2)^2 - 2*( F(x^2) + F(x^4) + F(x^8) + ... ), where F(x) = x/(1 - x)^2.

%F O.g.f. for reciprocals: Sum_{n >= 1} (1/a(n))*x^n = (3/4)*L(x) - (1/4)*L(-x) + (1/4)*( L(x^2) + L(x^4) + L(x^8) + ... ), where L(x) = log(1/(1 - x)).

%F a(n) = (-1)^(n+1)*Sum_ {d divides n} (-1)^(d+n/d)*phi(d), where phi(n) = A000010(n) is the Euler totient function. Cf. the identity n = Sum_ {d divides n} phi(d). Cf. A046897 and A321558.

%F O.g.f.: Sum_{n >= 1} phi(n)*x^n/(1 + (-x)^n). (End)
