COMMENTS
If the canonical factorization of n into prime powers is the product of p^e(p) then sigma_k(n) = Product_p ((p^((e(p)+1)*k))-1)/(p^k-1).
Sum_{d|n} 1/d^k is equal to sigma_k(n)/n^k. So sequences A017665-A017712 also give the numerators and denominators of sigma_k(n)/n^k for k = 1..24. The power sums sigma_k(n) are in sequences A000203 (k=1), A001157-A001160 (k=2,3,4,5), A013954-A013972 for k = 6,7,...,24. - Ahmed Fares (ahmedfares(AT)my-deja.com), Apr 05 2001
FORMULA
G.f.: Sum_{k>=1} k^12*x^k/(1-x^k). - Benoit Cloitre, Apr 21 2003
Dirichlet g.f.: zeta(s-12)*zeta(s). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Sep 10 2016
From Amiram Eldar, Oct 29 2023: (Start)
Multiplicative with a(p^e) = (p^(12*e+12)-1)/(p^12-1).
Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) = zeta(13) * n^13 / 13 + O(n^14). (End)
