COMMENTS

It appears that a(n+1)=2*a(n) if n is in A068499. - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Sep 07 2002

FORMULA

a(n) <= a(n+1) <= 2*a(n) - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Sep 07 2002

Contribution from Avik Roy (avik_3.1416(AT)yahoo.co.in), Jan 28 2009: (Start)

Assume, p1,p2...pm are the prime numbers less or equal to n.

bk=sum_{i=1,2,3...} floor(n/pk^i)

Then, a(n)= product_{i=1,2...,m} (bi+1)

For example, if n=5, p1=2,p2=3,p3=5

b1=floor(5/2)+floor(5/2^2)+floor(5/2^3)+...=2+1+0+..=3 similarly, b2=b3=1

Thus a(5)=(3+1)(1+1)(1+1)=16 (End)

EXAMPLE

a(4) = 8 because 4!=24 has precisely eight distinct divisors: 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24.
