Comments

Number of 3D grids of n congruent boxes with two different edge lengths, in a box, modulo rotation (cf. A034836 for cubes instead of boxes and A007425 for boxes with three different edge lengths; cf. A000005 for the 2D case). - Manfred Boergens, Feb 25 2021

Number of distinct faces obtainable by arranging n unit cubes into a cuboid. - Chris W. Milson, Mar 14 2021

Formula

a(n) = Sum_{m|n} A038548(m) = Sum_{m|n} ceiling(d(m)/2), where d(m) = number of divisors of m (A000005). - Manfred Boergens, Feb 25 2021

a(n) = Sum_{d|n} A135539(d,n/d). - Ridouane Oudra, Jul 10 2021

a(n) = (A007425(n) + A046951(n))/2. - Ridouane Oudra, Apr 10 2024

Example

The divisors of 20 are 1,2,4,5,10,20. There are 10 pairs of divisors whose product divides 20: 1*1=1, 1*2=2, 1*4=4, 1*5=5, 1*10=10, 1*20=20, 2*2=4, 2*5=10, 2*10=20, 4*5 = 20. Likewise, there are 10 products that are divisible by 20: 4*5=20, 2*10=20, 4*10=40, 10*10=100, 1*20=20, 2*20=40, 4*20=80, 5*20=100, 10*20=200, 20*20=400. So a(20) = 10.
