COMMENTS
Fuss-Catalan sequence is a(n,p,r) = r*binomial(n*p + r, n)/(n*p + r); this is the case p = 7, r = 8.

FORMULA
G.f. satisfies: A(x) = {1 + x*A(x)^(p/r)}^r, where p = 7, r = 8.
From _Peter Bala, Oct 16 2015: (Start)
O.g.f. A(x) = 1/x * series reversion (x*C(-x)^8), where C(x) = (1 - sqrt(1 - 4*x))/(2*x) is the o.g.f. for the Catalan numbers A000108. See cross-references for other Fuss-Catalan sequences with o.g.f. 1/x * series reversion (x*C(-x)^k), k = 3 through 11.
A(x)^(1/8) is the o.g.f. for A002296. (End)
