%N Smallest part of the symmetric representation of sigma(n).
%C If A237271(n) = 1 then a(n) = A241559(n) = A241838(n) = A000203(n).
%C If n is an odd prime then a(n) = (n + 1)/2 = A241559(n) = A241838(n).

%e For n = 9 the symmetric representation of sigma(9) = 13 in the first quadrant looks like this:
%e y
%e .
%e ._ _ _ _ _ 5
%e |_ _ _ _ _|
%e . |_ _ 3
%e . |_ |
%e . |_|_ _ 5
%e . | |
%e . | |
%e . | |
%e . | |
%e . . . . . . . . |_| . . x
%e .
%e There are three parts [5, 3, 5] and the smallest part is 3 so a(9) = 3.
%e For n = 45 the symmetric representation of sigma(45) = 78 has three parts [23, 32, 23] and the smallest part is 23 so a(45) = 23.
%e For n = 63 the symmetric representation of sigma(63) = 104 has five parts [32, 12, 16, 12, 32] and the smallest part is 12 so a(63) = 12.
