Comments

(sum of digits of n!!) / 9 is an integer for n = 9 and n > 10.

Links

Table of n, a(n) for n=11..82.

Formula

a(n) = A120390(n)/9 for n > 10.

a(n) << n log n. Presumably a(n) ~ n log n but proving this requires showing that not too many digits are 0. (The trailing 0's in even terms are not a problem, being only about n/8.) The expected constant is 1 / (4 log 10) = 0.10857.... [Charles R Greathouse IV, Dec 23 2011]
