Formula

a(n) + A360118(2n) = A000005(2n)-1, i.e., a(n) = A066660(n) - A360118(2*n). - Reference to a wrong A-number replaced with A360118 by Antti Karttunen, Feb 20 2023

Example

From Antti Karttunen, Feb 20 2023: (Start)
Divisors of 2*12 = 24 are: [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24]. Their first differences are: [1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 4, 12], all 7 which are divisors of 24, thus a(12) = 7.
Divisors of 2*35 = 70 are: [1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, 35, 70]. Their first differences are: 1, 3, 2, 3, 4, 21, 35, of which 1, 2 and 35 are divisors of 70, thus a(35) = 3.
Divisors of 2*65 = 130 are: [1, 2, 5, 10, 13, 26, 65, 130]. Their first differences are: 1, 3, 5, 3, 13, 39, 65, of which 1, 5, 13 and 65 are divisors of 130, thus a(65) = 4.
