%N a(n) is the number of different values n mod k for 1 <= k <= floor(n/2).

%C a(n) is the number of distinct terms in the first half of the n-th row of the A048158 triangle. - _Michel Marcus_, Mar 04 2017

%C a(n)/n appears to converge to a constant, approximately 0.2296. Can this be proved, and does the constant have a closed form? - _Robert Israel_, Mar 13 2017

%C The constant that a(n)/n approaches is Sum {p prime} 1/(p^2+p)* Product {q prime < p} (q-1)/q. - _Michael R Peake_, Mar 16 2017
