Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n > 0, and a(n) = 1 only for n = 1, 4, 5, 9, 10, 24, 28, 64, 100, 104, 136, 153, 172, 176, 344, 496, 856, 928, 1036, 1084, 1216, 1860.

Examples

			 a(1) = 1 since 1 = 0*L(0) + 1 with 1 squarefree.
a(10) = 1 since 10 = 0*L(0) + 2*5 with 2*5 squarefree.
a(136) = 1 since 136 = 2*L(2) + 2*5*13 with 2*5*13 squarefree.
a(344) = 1 since 344 = 7*L(7) + 3*47 with 3*47 squarefree.
a(1036) = 1 since 1036 = 2*L(2) + 2*5*103 with 2*5*103 squarefree.
a(1860) = 1 since 1860 = 7*L(7) + 1657 with 1657 squarefree.
