%N a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n-1} k^n.

%C n^3 divides a(n) for n in A121707.

%C It appears that p^(3k-1) divides a(p^k) for all integer k > 1 and prime p > 2:

%C for prime p > 2, p^2 divides a(p), p^5 divides a(p^2) and p^8 divides a(p^3).

%C Additionally, p^3 divides a(3p) for prime p > 2.

%C For prime p > 3, p divides a(p+1) and p^3 divides a(2p+1);

%C for prime p > 5, p divides a(3p+1) and p^3 divides a(4p+1);

%C for prime p > 7, p divides a(5p+1) and p^3 divides a(6p+1):

%C It appears that p divides a((2k+1)p+1) for integer k >= 0 and prime p > 2k+3, and p^3 divides a(2kp+1) for integer k > 0 and prime p > 2k+2.

%C p divides a((p+1)/2) for primes in A002145: primes of the form 4n+3, n >= 1.

%C p^2 divides a((p+1)/2) for primes in A007522: primes of the form 8n+7, n >= 0.

%C n*(2*n+1) divides a(2*n+1) for n >= 1. - _Franz Vrabec_, Dec 20 2020
