Comments

Dick Hess gave a puzzle at a "Gathering for Gardner" meeting asking for a(40).

a(n) is the number of integers not exceeding n that are divisible by 3 plus the number of cubes in the same range that are not divisible by 3.

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..76.

Formula

a(n) = floor(n/3) + floor(n^(1/3)) - floor(n^(1/3)/3).

Example

Suppose n = 40. There are 13 numbers in the range that are divisible by 3 and should be counted. In addition, there are two cubes 1 and 8 that are not divisible by 3. Thus, a(40) = 15.

Mathematica

Table[Floor[n/3] + Floor[n^(1/3)] - Floor[n^(1/3)/3], {n, 100}]
