FORMULA
a(n) = A255268(n) / A055462(n-1).
a(n) ~ sqrt(A) * exp((3 - 45*n^2 - 32*n^3 - 9*Zeta(3)/Pi^2)/72) * n^((8*n^3 + 18*n^2 + 10*n + 1)/24) * (2*Pi)^(n*(n+1)/4), where A = A074962 = 1.28242712910062263687534256886979... is the Glaisher-Kinkelin constant and Zeta(3) = A002117 = 1.2020569031595942853997... .
