Number of distinct rectangles with squarefree length and integer width such that L + W = n, W <= L. For example, a(14) = 4; the rectangles are 1 X 13, 3 X 11, 4 X 10 and 7 X 7. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Nov 02 2017

The limit of a(n)/n is 3/Pi^2. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Nov 04 2017

FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{i=1..floor(n/2)} mu(n-i)^2, where mu is the Möbius function A008683.
a(n) = A262991(n) - A262869(n).
a(n) ~ 3*n/Pi^2. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Nov 04 2017
EXAMPLE
a(4)=2; there are two partitions of 4 into two parts: (3,1) and (2,2). Both of the larger parts are squarefree, thus a(4)=2.
a(5)=1; there are two partitions of 5 into two parts: (4,1) and (3,2). Among the larger parts, only 3 is squarefree, thus a(5)=1.
