The g.f. is the 12th root of the g.f. of A282102.

It is easy to see that E_2(x)*E_4(x)*E_6(x) == 1 - 24*Sum_{k >= 1} (k - 10*k^3 + 21*k*5)*x^k/(1 - x^k) (mod 72), and also that the integer k - 10*k^3 + 21*k*5 = k*(3*k^2 - 1)*(7^k^2 - 1) is always divisible by 3. Hence, E_2(x)*E_4(x)*E_6(x) == 1 (mod 72). It follows from Heninger et al., p. 3, Corollary 2, that the series expansion of (E_2(x)*E_4(x)* E_6(x))^(1/12) = 1 - 24*x - 13932*x^2 - 3585216*x^3 - 1580941068*x^4 - ... has integer coefficients.
