%C Question: Are all terms nonnegative? See also A211991 and A344584.

%C From _Bernard Schott_, May 25 2021: (Start)

%C Answer: Yes, can be proved when n = Product_{i=1..k} p_i^e_i with n' = n * Sum_{i=1..k} (e_i/p_i) and cototient(n) = n * (1 - Product_{i=1..k} (1 - 1/p_i)).

%C a(n) = 0 iff n is in A008578 (1 together with the primes).

%C a(n) = 1 iff n is in A006881 (squarefree semiprimes) (End).
