FORMULA
a(n) = (n!/2) * Sum_{K conjugacy class in A_n} 1/|K|.
EXAMPLE
For n = 3, representatives of the n=9 orbits are (e,e), (e,(123)), (e,(132)), ((123),e), ((132),e), ((123),(123)), ((123),(132)), ((132),(123)), ((132),(132)), where e is the identity.
PROG
(GAP) G:= AlternatingGroup(n);; Size(G)*Sum(List(ConjugacyClasses(G), K -> 1/Size(K)));
