%N Greatest common divisor of the coefficients of the polynomial p(n,x) defined in Comments.
%C The polynomial p(n,x) is defined as the numerator when the sum 1 + 1/(n*x + 1) + 1/((n*x + 1)(n*x + 2)) + ... + 1/((n*x + 1)(n*x + 2)...(n*x + n - 1)) is written as a fraction with denominator (n*x + 1)(n*x + 2)...(n*x + n - 1). For more, see A248664. For n such that the coefficients of p(n,x) are relatively prime, see A248667.
%e The first six polynomials are shown here. The number just to the right of "=" is the GCD of the coefficients.
%e p(1,x) = 1*1
%e p(2,x) = 2*(x + 1)
%e p(3,x) = 1*(9x^2 + 12 x + 5)
%e p(4,x) = 4*(16 x^3 + 28 x^2 + 17 x + 4)
%e p(5,x) = 5*(125 x^4 + 275 x^3 + 225 x^2 + 84 x + 13)
%e p(6,x) = 2*(3888 x^5 + 10368 x^4 + 10800 x^3 + 5562 x^2 + 1455 x + 163), so that A248666 = (1,2,1,4,5,2, ...).
