%N a(n) is the number of positive integers k such that k*(k+1) divides n.

%C The usual OEIS policy is not to include sequences like this where alternate terms are zero; this is an exception.

%C In other words, a(n) is the number of oblong numbers (A002378) dividing n. - _Bernard Schott_, Jul 29 2022

%e The divisors of 20 are 1,2,4,5,10,20. Of these there are two that are of the form k(k+1): 2 = 1*2 and 20 = 4*5. So a(2) = 2.

%t a = {}; For[n = 1, n < 90, n++, k = 1; co = 0; While[k < Sqrt[n], If[IntegerQ[ n/(k*(k + 1))], co++ ]; k++ ]; AppendTo[a, co]]; a (* _Stefan Steinerberger_, May 27 2007 *)

%Y Positions of 0's and 1's are A088725, whose characteristic function is A360128.

%Y First appearance of n is A287142(n), with sorted version A328450.

%Y The longest run of divisors of n has length A055874(n).

%Y One less than A195155.
