a(n) = Sum_{i=0..n/7} (-1)^i*C(n,i)*C(2*n-7*i-1,n-7*i). - Vladimir Kruchinin, Mar 28 2019 [corrected by Peter Bala, Mar 31 2020]
a(n) = Sum_{i=0..n/7} (-1)^i*C(n,i)*C(2*n-7*i-1,n-7*i).
a(p) == 1 (mod p^2) for any prime p > 7.
a(p) == 1 (mod p^2) for any prime p > 7 (from Kruchnin's formula above). More generally, we may have a(p^k) == a(p^(k-1)) (mod p^(2*k)) for k >= 2 and any prime p.

From Peter Bala, Mar 31 2020: (Start)
a(n) = Sum_{k = 0..floor(n/7)} (-1)^k*C(n,k)*C(2*n-7*k-1,n-7*k).
a(p) == 1 (mod p^2) for any prime p > 7. More generally, we may have a(p^k) == a(p^(k-1)) (mod p^(2*k)) for k >= 2 and any prime p.
