%F n is representable as the sum of 3 squares if and only if n is not of the form 4^a (8k + 7) (cf. A000378).

%F A005875(n) = Sum_{d^2|n} a(n/d^2).

%F Let h = number of classes of primitive binary quadratic forms, corresponding to the discriminant D = -n if n = 3 (mod 8), D = -4n if n = 1, 2, 5, 6 (mod 8) and let d_1 = 1/2, d_3 = 1/3, d_n = 1 otherwise. Then a(n) = 12 h d_n, if n = 1, 2, 5, 6 (mod 8), 24 h d_n, if n = 3 (mod 8). (Grosswald)

%F Also, if n is squarefree and (r/n) is the Jacobi symbol, a(n) = 24 sum(r = 1, [n/4], (r/n)) if n = 1 (mod 4), 8 sum(r = 1, [n/2], (r/n)) if n = 3 (mod 8). (Grosswald)

%t a[n_] := (r = Reduce[ GCD[x, y, z] == 1 && n == x^2 + y^2 + z^2, {x, y, z}, Integers]; If[ r === False, 0, Length[ {ToRules[r]} ] ] ); a[0] = 1; Table[ a[n], {n, 0, 100}] (* _Jean-François Alcover_, Jan 13 2012 *)

%t a[ n_] := If[ n < 1, Boole[n == 0], Length @ Select[ {x, y, z} /. FindInstance[ n == x^2 + y^2 + z^2, {x, y, z}, Integers, 10^9], 1 == GCD @@ # &]]; (* _Michael Somos_, May 21 2015 *)
