Related to a Ramanujan congruence for the partition function P = A000041.
In other words, a(n) = k such that 24*k (mod 7^(2*n-2) ) == 1. - N. J. A. Sloane, Oct 08 2019
If b(n) = a(n) + 7^(2*n-2)*r, where r is a nonnegative integer, then there is an integer s >= 0 such that 24*b(n) = 24*a(n) + 24*7^(2*n-2)*r = 7^(2*n-2)*s + 1 + 24*7^(2*n-2)*r = 7^(2*n-2)*(24*r+s) + 1 == 1 (mod 7^(2*n-2)). Thus, we insist that a(n) is the smallest k >= 0 such that 24*k == 1 (mod 7^(2*n-2)). - Petros Hadjicostas, Oct 09 2019
