Formula

Dirichlet g.f.: Product_{n > 1} 1/(1 + 1/n^s).

Example

The factorizations of 24 are (2*2*2*3), (2*2*6), (2*3*4), (2*12), (3*8), (4*6), (24); so a(24) = 1 - 2 + 3 - 1 = 1.

Mathematica

facs[n_]:=If[n<=1, {{}}, Join@@Table[Map[Prepend[#, d]&, Select[facs[n/d], Min@@#>=d&]], {d, Rest[Divisors[n]]}]];
Table[Sum[(-1)^Length[f], {f, facs[n]}], {n, 200}]
