Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

A307320
a(n) is the base-2 logarithm of the denominator of sigma_{-1}(P(n)), where P(n) = 2^(n-1)*M(n), where M(n) = 2^n - 1 is the n-th Mersenne number.

COMMENTS
a(n) = 0 if and only if P(n) is multiperfect. In particular, a(n) = 0 if M(n) is prime.
EXAMPLE
a(6) = 2 since P(6) = 2016 and sigma_{-1}(2016) = 13/2^2.
MATHEMATICA
M[n_] := 2^n - 1;
P[n_] := 2^(n - 1) M[n];
A[n_] := Log[2, Denominator[DivisorSigma[-1, P[n]]]];
PROG
(PARI) a(n) = logint(denominator(sigma(2^(n-1)*(2^n-1), -1)), 2); \\ Michel Marcus, Apr 02 2019
