Also numerator of "modified Bernoulli number" b(2n) = Bernoulli(2*n)/(2*n*n!). Denominators are in A057868.

Ramanujan incorrectly conjectured that the sequence contains only primes (and 1) [ Jud McCranie (j.mccranie(AT)comcast.net) ]. See A112548, A119766.

a(n)=A046968(n) if n<574; a(574)=37*A046968(574). - Michael Somos Feb 01 2004

Absolute values give denominators of constant terms of Fourier series of meromorphic modular forms E_k/Delta, where E_k is the normalized k th Eisenstein series [cf. Gunning or Serre references] and Delta is the normalized unique weight-twelve cusp form for the full modular group (the generating function of Ramanujan's tau function.) - Barry Brent (barrybrent(AT)iphouse.com), Jun 01 2009

|a(n)| is a product of powers of irregular primes (A000928), with the exeception of n = 1,2,3,4,5,7. [From Peter Luschny (peter(AT)luschny.de), Jul 28 2009]
