COMMENTS
a(n)=p(n) if n=p(n); a(n) is not always A006530(n). - Labos Elemer, May 03 2002
This sequence is the Mobius transform of A087073. Let m be the squarefree part of n, then a(n) = a(m). When n = pq, the product of two distinct odd primes, then there is a formula for a(pq). Let x = 1/p (mod q) and y = 1/q (mod p). Then a(pq) = 2xy-1. There are also formulas for the number of positive and negative terms. See papers by Carlitz or Lam and Leung. - T. D. Noe, Aug 08 2003

FORMULA
a(n) = phi(n) + 1 - A086798(n). - T. D. Noe, Aug 08 2003
EXAMPLE
9th cyclotomic polynomial is x^6+x^3+1 which has 3 terms, so a(9)=3.
