Comments

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

Numerators of coefficients in expansion of Sum_{n >= 1} x^n / (n*(1-x^n)) = Sum_{n >= 1} log(1/(1-x^n)).

The primes in this sequence, in order of appearance (without multiplicity), begin: 3, 7, 2, 13, 31, 5, 127. The first occurrence of prime(k) = a(n) for k = 1, 2, 3, ... is at n = 6, 2, 24, 4, 35640, 9, 297600, 588, ... - Jonathan Vos Post, Apr 02 2011

With amicable numbers, we have a(A002025(n)) = a(A002046(n)). - Michel Marcus, Dec 29 2013

Numerator of sigma(n)/n = A000203(n)/n. See A239578(n) - the smallest number k such that a(k) = n. - Jaroslav Krizek, Sep 23 2014
