%C A002956 can be thought of as a modular arithmetic version of the partition numbers (A000041). The number of "modulo n" partitions of n is the number of multisets of integers ranging from 1 to n, such that the sum of members of the multiset is congruent to 0 mod n, and no submultiset exists whose members sum to 0 mod n. Therefore, a(n) is the number of "modulo n" partitions which are not ordinary partitions of n.

%H Finklea, Moore, Ponomarenko and Turner, <a href="http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/~vadim/fmpt1b-revised.pdf">Invariant Polynomials and Minimal Zero Sequences</a>

%e The multisets counted by A002956(5) but not by A000041(5) are

%e ..{1,3,3,3}

%e ..{2,2,2,2,2}

%e ..{2,2,2,4}

%e ..{2,4,4}

%e ..{3,3,3,3,3}

%e ..{3,4,4,4}

%e ..{3,3,4}

%e ..{4,4,4,4,4}

%e So a(5) = 8.
