FORMULA
7*a(n) = (8*n-1)!^8 = Product_{j=1..n} (8*j-1) = (8*n)!/((2*n)!*2^(6*n)*3^2*5 * A045755(n)*A007696(n)*A034909(n)*A034911(n)*A034176(n)).
E.g.f.: (-1+(1-8*x)^(-7/8))/7.
G.f.: x/(1-15*x/(1-8*x/(1-23*x/(1-16*x/(1-31*x/(1-24*x/(1-39*x/(1-32*x/(1-... (continued fraction). - Philippe Deléham, Jan 07 2012
a(n) = (1/7) * 8^n * Pochhammer(n, 7/8). - G. C. Greubel, Oct 21 2022
From Amiram Eldar, Dec 20 2022: (Start)
a(n) = A049210(n)/7.
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = 7*(e/8)^(1/8)*(Gamma(7/8) - Gamma(7/8, 1/8)). (End)
