EXAMPLE

a(7)=8 since we have 7 prime knots and one composite knot (the connected sum 3_1#4_1 of the trefoil knot 3_1 and the figure eight knot 4_1). Note that 3_1*#4_1=3_1#4_1, where * denotes mirror image because 4_1 is achiral. a(8)=25 since we have 21 prime knots and four composites (3_1#5_1, 3_1#5_2, 3_1*#5_1 and 3_1*#5_2).
