Comments

Multiplicative and also a strong divisibility sequence: gcd(a(n),a(m)) = a(gcd(n,m)) for n, m >= 1. - Peter Bala, Feb 24 2019

Formula

Dirichlet g.f.: zeta(s-1)*(1-4/5^s-2/3^s+8/15^s). - R. J. Mathar, Apr 18 2011

a(n) = gcd((n-2)*(n-1)*n*(n+1)*(n+2)/15, n) for n>=1. - Lechoslaw Ratajczak, Feb 19 2017

From Peter Bala, Feb 24 2019: (Start)

a(n) = n/gcd(n,15), a quasi-polynomial in n since gcd(n,15) is a purely periodic sequence of period 15.

O.g.f.: F(x) - 2*F(x^3) - 4*F(x^5) + 8*F(x^15), where F(x) = x/(1 - x)^2.

O.g.f. for reciprocals: Sum_{n >= 1} x^n/a(n) = Sum_{d divides 15} (phi(d)/d) * log(1/(1 - x^d)) = log(1/(1 - x)) + (2/3)*log(1/(1 - x^3)) + (4/5)*log(1/(1 - x^5)) + (8/15)*log(1/(1 - x^15)), where phi(n) denotes the Euler totient function A000010. (End)

Multiplicative with a(3^e) = 3^max(0,e-1), a(5^e) = 5^max(0,e-1), and a(p^e) = p^e otherwise.

Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ (49/150) * n^2. (End)
