Binomial transform of A007556.
In general, for m > 1, Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) * binomial(m*k,k) / ((m-1)*k + 1) ~ (m^m + (m-1)^(m-1))^(n + 3/2) / (sqrt(2*Pi) * m^((3*m-1)/2) * n^(3/2) * (m-1)^((m-1)*n + 3/2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jul 30 2021

FORMULA
G.f. A(x) satisfies: A(x) = 1 / (1 - x) + x * (1 - x)^6 * A(x)^8.
G.f.: Sum_{k>=0} ( binomial(8*k,k) / (7*k + 1) ) * x^k / (1 - x)^(k+1).
a(n) ~ 17600759^(n + 3/2) / (34359738368 * sqrt(Pi) * n^(3/2) * 7^(7*n + 3/2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jul 30 2021
