Formula

a(n) = numerator(Sum_{d|n, d<n} 1/d).

a(n) = numerator((sigma_1(n)-1)/n).

a(p) = 1 when p is prime.

a(p^k) = (p^k - 1)/(p - 1) when p is prime.

Dirichlet g.f.: (zeta(s) - 1)*zeta(s+1) (for fraction Sum_{d|n, d<n} 1/d).

Example

a(4) = 3 because 4 has 3 divisors {1,2,4} therefore 2 proper divisors {1,2} and 1/1 + 1/2 = 3/2.

Maple

with(numtheory): P:=proc(n) local a, k; a:=divisors(n) minus {n};
numer(add(1/a[k], k=1..nops(a))); end: seq(P(i), i=1..80); # Paolo P. Lava, Oct 17 2018
