COMMENTS
Let a > b be nonnegative integers. The ratio of factorials (2*a*n)!*(b*n)!/( (a*n)!*(2*b*n)!*((a - b)*n)! ) is known to be an integer for all integer n >= 0 (see, for example, Bober, Theorem 1.1). We have the companion result: Let a > b be nonnegative integers. Then the ratio of factorials ((2*a + 1)*n)!*((b + 1/2)*n)!/(((a + 1/2)*n)!*((2*b + 1)*n)!*((a - b)*n)!) is an integer for all integer n >= 0. This is the case a = 4, b = 2. Other cases include A091496 (a = 2, b = 0), A091527 (a = 1, b = 0), A262732 (a = 2, b = 1), A262733 (a = 3, b = 2) and A276098 (a = 3, b = 1).

FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{k = 0..2*n} binomial(9*n, k)*binomial(7*n - k - 1, 2*n - k).
a(n) = Sum_{k = 0..n} binomial(14*n, 2*n - 2*k)*binomial(5*n + k - 1, k).
a(n) ~ 1/sqrt(4*Pi*n) * (3^18/5^5)^(n/2).
O.g.f. A(x) = Hypergeom([17/18, 13/18, 11/18, 7/18, 5/18, 1/18, 5/6, 1/6], [9/10, 7/10, 3/10, 1/10, 3/4, 1/4, 1/2], (3^18/5^5)*x^2) + 96*x*Hypergeom([13/9, 11/9, 10/9, 8/9, 7/9, 5/9, 4/3, 2/3], [7/5, 6/5, 4/5, 3/5, 5/4, 3/4, 3/2], (3^18/5^5)*x^2).
a(n) = [x^(2*n)] H(x)^n, where H(x) = (1 + x)^9/(1 - x)^5.
It follows that the o.g.f. A(x) for this sequence is the diagonal of the bivariate rational generating function 1/2*( 1/(1 - t*H(sqrt(x))) + 1/(1 - t*H(-sqrt(x))) ) and hence is algebraic by Stanley 1999, Theorem 6.33, p. 197.
Let F(x) = 1/x*Series_Reversion( x*sqrt((1 - x)^5/(1 + x)^9) ) and put G(x) = 1 + x*d/dx(Log(F(x)). Then A(x^2) = (G(x) + G(-x))/2.
