Examples
Modulo 5# (=30), there are (5-2)-2*(5-3)+(5-4)=0 occurrences where n, n+8 are relatively prime but n+1, n+2, n+3, n+4, n+5, n+6, n+7 share a factor with 30. Modulo 7# (=210), there are (7-2)(5-2)-2*(7-3)(5-3)+(7-4)(5-4)=15-16+3=2 such occurrences; i.e when n=89,113 (mod210).

PARI
a(n) = prod(k=3, n, prime(k)-2) - 2*prod(k=3, n, prime(k)-3) + prod(k=3, n, prime(k)-4); \\ Michel Marcus, Apr 11 2016
Formula
a(n) = product(p-2) - 2*product(p-3) + product(p-4), where p runs through the primes > 3 and <= prime(n).
