COMMENTS

Sum_{d|n} 1/d^k is equal to sigma_k(n)/n^k. So sequences A017665-A017712 also give the numerators and denominators of sigma_k(n)/n^k for k = 1..24. The power sums sigma_k(n) are in sequences A000203 (k=1), A001157-A001160 (k=2,3,4,5), A013954-A013972 for k = 6,7,...,24. - comment from Ahmed Fares (ahmedfares(AT)my-deja.com), Apr 05 2001.

Numerators of coefficients in expansion of Sum_{n >= 1} x^n/(n*(1-x^n)) = Sum_{n >= 1} log(1/(1-x^n).

The primes in this sequence, in order of appearance (without multiplicity), begin: 3, 7, 2, 13, 31, 5, 127. The first occurrence of prime(k)= a(n) for k= 1, 2, 3,... is at n=6, 2, 24, 4, 35640, 9, 297600, 588,... [Jonathan Vos Post, Apr 02 2011]
