cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

In other words, a(n) is the number of choices for k, 1 <= k <= n, so that k*n + 1 has the form a*b for 1 < a < b < n.
Solutions exist only when 1 <= k <= n - 3.
Any odd number greater than 3 has at least one solution, 2*ceiling(n/2).
Observations:
- Unique values of a(n) exist, 6 = a(32), 24 = a(240), 126 = a(512), 144 = a(1320), ..., and n mod 8 = 0.
- If a(n) is an odd prime then a(n) = a(2*n) OR a(n) = a(n/2). For example, 1013 = a(2029) = a(2197) = a(4058) = a(4394).

Examples

			a(1)=0 because there is no solution to k*1 + 1 = a*b, 1 < a < b < n, 1 <= k < n.
a(5)=1 because 1 == 3*2 (mod 5).
a(7)=2 because 1 == 4*2 == 5*3 (mod 7).
a(11)=4 because 1 == 4*3 == 6*2 == 8*7 == 9*5 (mod 11).
a(13)=5 because 1 == 7*2 == 8*5 == 9*3 == 10*4 = 11*6 (mod 13).
a(32)=6 because 1 == 11*3 == 13*5 == 23*7 == 25*9 == 27*19 == 29*21 (mod 32).
