Table of n, a(n) for n=1..70.

Formula

a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} mu(n-k)^2 * (ceiling(n/k) - floor(n/k)).

Example

a(12) = 5. The numbers less than 12 that do not divide 12 are: {5,7,8,9,10,11} with values of n-k: {7,5,4,3,2,1} (exactly 5 of which are squarefree).

Mathematica

Table[Sum[MoebiusMu[n - k]^2 (Ceiling[n/k] - Floor[n/k]), {k, n}], {n, 100}]
