Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

A110268
Consider the sequence A110566: lcm{1,2,...,n}/denominator of harmonic number H(n). a(n) is the factor that is changed going from A110566(n) to A110566(n+1).

COMMENTS
a(n) is always an odd prime power, A061345.
EXAMPLE
A110566(4) through A110566(10) are {1,1,3,3,3,1,1}, therefore the factors are 1,3,1,1,3,1.
