FORMULA
G.f.: Sum_{k>=1} (-1)^(k-1)*k^6*x^k/(1 - x^k). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Dec 23 2018
Multiplicative with a(2^e) = 2 - (2^(6*e + 6) - 1)/63, and a(p^e) = (p^(6*e + 6) - 1)/(p^6 - 1) for p > 2. - Amiram Eldar, Nov 04 2022
MATHEMATICA
f[p_, e_] := (p^(6*e + 6) - 1)/(p^6 - 1); f[2, e_] := 2 - (2^(6*e + 6) - 1)/63; a[1] = 1; a[n_] := Times @@ f @@@ FactorInteger[n]; Array[a, 30] (* Amiram Eldar, Nov 04 2022 *)
