%N a(n)=(1/2)Sum_h |h-h'| with h and h' in [1,n], gcd(h,n)=1, hh'=1 (mod n).

%C For a given n, a(n) is half the sum for h ranging over the set of least positive residues coprime with n of |h-h'|, where h' is the (unique) number in the same set such that hh'=1 (mod n).

%C If h and h' are chosen randomly from [1,n] then the expected value of |h-h'|/2 is n/6. So it is plausible that a(n) ~ n*phi(n)/6 and numerical evidence seems to support that.
