%N Binomial(n^3,n) / (n^2 * (n^2+n+1) ), or binomial(n^3-2,n-2).

%C This is the case p=3 of a(n,p) = binomial(n^p,n) / ( PHI(n,p) * n^(p-1)) where PHI(n,p) = 1 + n + n^2 + ... + n^(p-1) = (n^p - 1) /(n - 1).

%C These a(n,p) are integer if n, p > = 2. [Proof :

%C a(n,p) = binomial(n^p,n)* 1 / (n^(p-1)*PHI(n,p))

%C = n^p *(n^p - 1)*(n^p - 2)...(n^p - n + 1)/((n-2)!*(n-1)*n * n^(p-1)* PHI(n,p)).

%C Insert PHI(n,p)=(n^p - 1) /(n - 1) and cancel n^p, n-1 and n^p - 1 where n > = 2:

%C a(n,p) = (n^p - 2)*(n^p - 3)...(n^p - n + 1)/(n - 2)! = binomial (n^p - 2, n - 2). QED]

%e a(n= 3) = binomial(27,3)/(9 *(9 + 3 + 1)= 2925 /117 = 25 = binomial(3^3 - 2, 3 - 2) = binomial (25, 1).
