FORMULA
a(n) = A003418(n) / A003418(n-1) = lcm {1..n} / lcm {1..n-1}. [This is equivalent to saying that this sequence is the LCM-transform (as defined by Nowicki, 2013) of the positive integers. - David James Sycamore, Jan 09 2024.]
a(n) = 1/Product_{d|n} d^mu(d) = Product_{d|n} (n/d)^mu(d). - Vladeta Jovovic, Jan 24 2002
a(n) = gcd( C(n+1,1), C(n+2,2), ..., C(2n,n) ) where C(n,k) = binomial(n,k). - Benoit Cloitre, Jan 31 2003
a(n) = gcd(C(n,1), C(n+1,2), C(n+2,3), ...., C(2n-2,n-1)), where C(n,k) = binomial(n,k). - Benoit Cloitre, Jan 31 2003; corrected by Ant King, Dec 27 2005
Note: a(n) != gcd(A008472(n), A007947(n)) = A099636(n), GCD of rad(n) and sopf(n) (this fails for the first time at n=30), since a(30) = 1 but gcd(rad(30), sopf(30)) = gcd(30,10) = 10.
a(n)^A100995(n) = A100994(n). - N. J. A. Sloane, Feb 20 2005
a(n) = Product_{k=1..n-1, if(gcd(n, k)=1, 1-exp(2*Pi*i*k/n), 1)}, i=sqrt(-1); a(n) = n/A048671(n). - Paul Barry, Apr 15 2005
Sum_{n>=1} (log(a(n))-1)/n = -2*A001620 [Bateman Manuscript Project Vol III, ed. by Erdelyi et al.]. - R. J. Mathar, Mar 09 2008
n*a(n) = A140580(n) = n^2/A048671(n) = A140579 * [1,2,3,...]. - Gary W. Adamson, May 17 2008
a(n) = (2*Pi)^phi(n) / Product_{gcd(n,k)=1} Gamma(k/n)^2 (for n > 1). - Peter Luschny, Aug 08 2009
a(n) = A166140(n) / A166142(n). - Mats Granvik, Oct 08 2009
a(n) = GCD of rows in A167990. - Mats Granvik, Nov 16 2009
a(n) = A010055(n)*(A007947(n) - 1) + 1. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Mar 26 2010
a(n) = 1 + (A007947(n)-1) * floor(1/A001221(n)), for n>1. - Enrique Pérez Herrero, Jun 01 2011
a(n) = Product_{k=1..n-1} if(gcd(k,n)=1, 2*sin(Pi*k/n), 1). - Peter Luschny, Jun 09 2011
a(n) = exp(Sum_{k>=1} A191898(n,k)/k) for n>1 (conjecture). - Mats Granvik, Jun 19 2011
Dirichlet g.f.: Sum_{n>0} e^Lambda(n)/n^s = Zeta(s) + Sum_{p prime} Sum_{k>0} (p-1)/p^(k*s) = Zeta(s) - ppzeta(s) + Sum(p prime, p/(p^s-1)); for a ppzeta definition see A010055. - Enrique Pérez Herrero, Jan 19 2013
a(n) = exp(lim_{x->1} zeta(s)*Sum_{d|n} moebius(d)/d^(s-1)) for n>1. - Mats Granvik, Jul 31 2013

a(n) = 1 + Sum_{k=2..n} (k-1)*A010051(k)*(floor(k^n/n) - floor((k^n - 1)/n)). - Anthony Browne, Jun 16 2016
The Dirichlet series for log(a(n)) = Lambda(n) is given by the logarithmic derivative of the zeta function -zeta'(s)/zeta(s). - Mats Granvik, Oct 30 2016
a(n) = A008578(1+A297109(n)), For all n >= 1, Product_{d|n} a(d) = n. - Antti Karttunen, Feb 01 2021
