Hi Michael,
j=1 j=2
n prime(n) floor(1^2/prime(n)) floor(2^2/prime(n))
sum(floor(j^2/prime(n))), j=1:prime(n)-1)
floor((prime(n)-2)(prime(n)-1)/3) Expression
1 2 0 -
0 0
0
2 3 0 1
1 0
1
I did ask for A166128 to be removed.
Best regards,
Chris

That seems like a non-trivial result, so I'm glad to see you have already
added it to OEIS (A165951). But for a(1) and a(2), prime(n)=2 and 3, the
expression evaluates to -1/2 and 1/3, right?

A166468 is the one we were discussing earlier, and if I read it correctly,
A166128 is just prime(n)-1 with a(1) set to 0, so a similar argument
applies. I can't seem to get to A166129 and A166130.
