Comments

See A089128(n) for n >= 1 - denominators of averages of squares of the first n positive integers.

Sqrt (a(n) / A089128(n)) for n >= 1 is harmonic mean of the first n positive integers.

For n = 337 holds: a(n) is square (= 38025 = 195^2) and simultaneously A089128(n) = 1, i.e. number k = 195 is quadratic mean (root mean square) of first 337 positive integers. There are other such numbers - see A084231 and A084232.
