COMMENT

For a prime p, a(p) = (p^2 - 1)*(p^2 - p) (this is the order of GL(2,p)). More generally a(n) is multiplicative: if the canonical factorization of n is the product of p^e(p) over primes p then a(n) = product ((p^(2*e(p)) - p^(2*e(p) - 2)) * (p^(2*e(p)) - p^(2*e(p) - 1))). - Brian Wallace (wallacebrianedward(AT)yahoo.co.uk), Apr 05 2001, Dan Fux (dan.fux(AT)OpenGaia.com or danfux(AT)OpenGaia.com), Apr 18 2001

FORMULA

a(n) = n^4 * product (1-1/p^2)*(1-1/p) = n^4 * product p^(-3)(p^2 - 1)*(p - 1) where the product is over all the primes p that divide n. - Dan Fux (dan.fux(AT)OpenGaia.com or danfux(AT)OpenGaia.com), Apr 18 2001

Multiplicative with a(p^e) = (p-1)^2*(p+1)*p^(4e-3). - David W. Wilson (davidwwilson(AT)comcast.net), Aug 01, 2001.

a(n) = A000056(n)*phi(n), where phi is Euler totient function (cf. A000010). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Oct 30 2001
