FORMULA
a(n) = A110620(prime(n)) + A110620(prime(n)^2) for all n > 2.
EXAMPLE
For n = 1, there are a(1) = 24 elliptic curves over Q with good reduction outside 2, classified by Ogg (1966), with j-invariants given in A332545.
For n = 2, there are a(2) = 8 elliptic curves over Q with good reduction outside 3. A set of 8 Weierstrass equations for these curves can be given as: y^2 + y = x^3 - 270x - 1708, y^2 + y = x^3 - 30x + 63, y^2 + y = x^3 - 7, y^2 + y = x^3, y^2 + y = x^3 - 1, y^2 + y = x^3 + 20, y^2 + y = x^3 - 61, and y^2 + y = x^3 + 2.
For n = 3, Edixhoven-Groot-Top proved there are no elliptic curves over Q with good reduction away from 5, so a(3) = 0.
