%N The number of regions in a Farey diagram of order (n,n).

%C See A358298 and also the linked references for further details.

%C The first diagram where not all edge points are connected is n = 3. For example a line connecting points (0,1/3) and (1/3,0) has equation 3*y - 6*x - 1 = 0, and as one of the x or y coefficients is greater than n (3 in this case) the line is not included.

%F a(n) = A358884(n) - A358883(n) + 1 by Euler's formula.

%Y See A358298 for definition of Farey diagram Farey(m,n).

%Y The Farey Diagrams Farey(m,n) are studied in A358298-A358307 and A358882-A358885, the Completed Farey Diagrams of order (m,n) in A358886-A358889.
