%N a(n) is the number of solutions of the equation k*n/(k-n) = c. k,c integers.

%C In general, if n is a prime p then a(p)=4, and k is from {p-1, p+1, 2*p, p^2+p}.

%C In general, if n is a squared prime p^2 then a(p^2)=7, and k is from {p^2-p, p^2-1, p^2+1, p^2+p, p^3-p^2, p^3+p^2, p^4+p^2}.

%C The sequence counts solutions with k>0 and any sign of c, or, alternatively, solutions with c>0 and any sign of k. If solutions were constrained to k>0 and c>0, A048691 would result. - _R. J. Mathar_, Nov 21 2008

%e For n=7 we search the number of integer solutions of the equation 7*k/(k-7). This holds for k from {6,8,14,56}. Then a(7)=4. For n=10 we search the number of integer solutions of the equation 10*k/(k-10). This holds for k from {5,6,8,9,11,12,14,15,20,30,35,60,110}. Then a(10)=13.
