%N Maximum number of dividing subsets of a set of n natural numbers.
%C Let A be a set of positive integers and B a subset of A. B is said to divide A if the sum of elements in B divides the sum of elements in A.

%F O.g.f.: x*(1 + x^2 - 2*x^3)/(1 - 2*x).
%F E.g.f.: (x^3 + 3*exp(2*x) - 3)/6. (End)
%e n = 3: only A={k,2k,3k}, where k is a natural number, has 5 dividing subsets.
%e n = 4: {1, 2, 3, 6} has 8 dividing subsets: {1}, {2}, {3}, {6}, {1, 2}, {1, 3}, {1, 2, 3}, {1, 2, 3, 6}. (Corrected by _Stan Wagon_, Nov 07 2015)
