COMMENTS
Let G_n be an n-vertex simple graph, with a(G_n) automorphisms. Then l(G_n) = n!/a(G_n) is the number of labeled copies of G_n. So a(n) is the number of G_n for which n divides l(G_n).

EXAMPLE
If n=3 then both G_3 = K_1 union K_2 and its complement have a(G_3)=2, so l(G_3) = 3!/2 = 3, and so 3 divides l(G_3); no other graphs G_3 satisfy this, so a(3) = 2.
