COMMENTS

A proper divisor d of n is a divisor of n such that 1 <= d < n.

a(n) = q(n)/q(n-1), where q(n) = n!/A003418(n). [Definition as given by Labos E.]

a(n) is the lcm of the proper divisors of n. - David Wasserman (wasserma(AT)spawar.navy.mil), Nov 30 2004

a(n) = (n^2)/A140580. - Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), May 17 2008

FORMULA

A025527(n)/A025527(n-1) or (n*LCM(n-1))/LCM(n) where LCM(n) is least common multiple of first n natural numbers: LCM(n) = A003418(n).

Also a(n)=A003418(n)/A002944(n)=LCM[1, .., n]/LCM[.., C[n, j], ..].

a(n) = n/A014963(n) = LCM(A052126(n), A032742(n)); a(n) = n if n not a prime power, a(n) = n/p if n = p^m (i.e. a(n) = 1 if n = p) - Henry Bottomley (se16(AT)btinternet.com), May 19 2000

a(n) = n*Product_{ d divides n } d^mu(d). Product_{ d divides n } a(d) = A007956(n). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Jul 04 2002

a(n)=product{k=1..n-1, if(gcd(n, k)>1, 1-exp(2*pi*I*k/n), 1)}, I=sqrt(-1); - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Apr 15 2005

a(n) = product{0<k<n} (if(gcd(k,n)>1, 2*Pi/Gamma(k/n)^2, 1);  a(n) = product{0<k<n} (if(gcd(k,n)>1, 2*sin(Pi*k/n), 1). [Peter Luschny, Jun 09 2011]

EXAMPLE

8!/LCM(8) = 48 = 40320/840 while 7!/LCM(7) = 5040/420 = 12 so a(8) = 48/12 = 4.

a(5)=1=LCM[1,2,3,4,5]/LCM[1,5,10,10,5,1]

MAPLE

A048671 := n -> ilcm(op(numtheory[divisors](n) minus {1, n}));
