COMMENTS

Related to hyperperfect numbers of a certain form.

The formula by J. Krizek is explained as follows: If p=(3n+1)/2 is prime, then it is an integer, and p must be of the form p=3m-1, i.e., p=A003627(k). OTOH, if p=A003627(k), then all k<p are coprime to p, so we have B(p) = sum(k^2, k<^p)/sum(k, k<p) = (2p-1)/3. This is an integer, since p=3m-1, and for this number n=(2p-1)/3=2m-1, we have that (3n+1)/2=p is prime. - M. F. Hasler, Nov 29 2010

FORMULA

a(n) = A175505(A003627(n)). [From Jaroslav Krizek (jaroslav.krizek(AT)atlas.cz), Aug 01 2010]

EXAMPLE

a(6) = 19 because for A003627(6) = 29 holds: B(29) = A053818(29) / A023896(29) = 7714 / 406 = 19. Cf. A179871-A179891, A003627, A007645. [From Jaroslav Krizek (jaroslav.krizek(AT)atlas.cz), Aug 01 2010]
