COMMENTS
The first example of an integral quotient in the Fibonacci sequence is 12 because 240/20=12. 240 is the product of terms through 8, and 20 the sum. Thereafter, with every other additional pair of terms in the Fibonacci sequence, another integral quotient occurs.
Let m be an even positive integer. Then the sequence defined by b_m(n) = Product_{k = 1..2*n+1} F(m*k) / Sum_{k = 1..2*n+1} F(m*k) appears to be integral. - Peter Bala, Nov 12 2021
FORMULA
a(n) = (Product_{k = 1..4*n+2} Fibonacci(k))/(Sum_{k = 1..4*n+2} Fibonacci(k)) = (Product_{k = 1..4*n+2} Fibonacci(k))/(Fibonacci(4*n+4) - 1) = Fibonacci(2*n+1)/Fibonacci(2*n+3) * Product_{k = 1..4*n+1} Fibonacci(k), which shows a(n) is integral. Cf. A175553. - Peter Bala, Nov 11 2021
EXAMPLE
The first two integral quotients occur in the Fibonacci sequence as illustrated by the following: (1*1*2*3*5*8)/(1+1+2+3+5+8) = 240/20 = 12, integral; (1*1*2*3*5*8*13*21*34*55)/(1+1+2+3+5+8+13+21+34+55) = 122522400/143 = 856800, integral.
