COMMENTS
| The second term of sequences of this type for n=0,1,2... form the sequence 1,2,1,2,1,...in decimal .1212121212... = 4/33
Multiplicative with a(p^e) = GCD(p^e, 6). David W. Wilson (davidwwilson(AT)comcast.net) Jun 12, 2005.
Contribution from Jaroslav Krizek (jaroslav.krizek(AT)atlas.cz), May 27 2010: (Start)
a(n) = denominators of averages of squares of the first n positive integers for n >= 1.
a(n) for n >= 1 is periodic sequence with period (1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 6).
See A175485 - numerators of averages of squares of the first n positive integers.
a(n) = A175485(n) * n / A000330(n).
For n = 337 holds: a(n) = 1 and simultaneously A175485(n) is square ( = 38025 = 195^2), i.e. number k = 195 is quadratic mean (root mean square) of first 337 positive integers. There are other such numbers - see A084231 and A084232.
Sqrt (A175485(n) / a(n)) for n >= 1 is harmonic mean of the first n positive integers. (End)

FORMULA
| a(n) = GCD(6, n). David W. Wilson (davidwwilson(AT)comcast.net) Jun 12, 2005.
a(n) = 1 + [2|n] + 2*[3|n] + 2*[6|n] = (15 + 5*(-1)^n + 4*cos(n*Pi/3) + 12*cos(n*2*Pi/3))/6, where [x|y] is 1 if x divides y, 0 otherwise. Mitch Harris (Harris.Mitchell(AT)mgh.harvard.edu) Jun 15, 2005.
a(n) = (-2*(n mod 6)+(n+1 mod 6)+(n+2 mod 6)+3*(n+5 mod 6))/3 (cf. forms of modular arithmetic of Paolo P. Lava, i.e. see A146094). [From Bruno Berselli (berselli.bruno(AT)yahoo.it), Sep 27 2010]
Dirichlet g.f. zeta(s)*(1+1/2^s+2/3^s+2/6^s). G.f. ( -6-x-2*x^2-3*x^3-2*x^4-x^5 ) / ( (x-1)*(1+x)*(1+x+x^2)*(x^2-x+1) ). - R. J. Mathar, Apr 04 2011
a(n) = ((n-1) mod 2 + 1)*( 2*floor(((n-1) mod 3)/2) + 1). [From Gary Detlefs, Dec 28 2011]
