COMMENT

Contribution from Enoch Haga (Enokh(AT)comcast.net), May 06 2009: (Start)

Another way to explain the sequence is to begin with 1. Then, if n+1 is prime

subtract 1 and multiply. If n+1 is not prime, multiply. Continue writing each

product. Thus the sequence would begin 1,2,8,. . . . The first product is 1*(2-1),

second is 1*(3-1), and third is 2*4. (End)

FORMULA

Euler phi(n!).

Phi(n) = n * Product for all primes which divide n, (1 - 1/p).

If n is composite, then a(n) = a(n-1)*n. If n is prime, then a(n) = a(n-1)*(n-1). - Leroy Quet May 24 2007
