COMMENT

a(n) =(tau(n^2)+1)/2. Number of elements in the set {(x,y): x|n, y|n, x<=y, GCD(x,y)=1}. Number of divisors of n^2 less than or equal to n. - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), May 03 2002
Equivalently number of pairs (x,y) such that LCM(x,y)=n - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), May 16 2002
Number of right triangles with an integer hypotenuse and height n. - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Jul 10 2002
Number of solutions to x^3==n^2 (mod x) 1<=x<=n - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Aug 19 2002
Except for the initial term, each entry is at least equal to 2 because of the identities 1/n=1/2n + 1/2n=1/(n+1) + 1/n*(n+1). - Lekraj Beedassy (blekraj(AT)yahoo.com), May 04 2004

FORMULA
|
If n = (p1^a1)(p2^a2)...(pt^at), a(n) = ((2 a1 + 1)(2 a2 + 1) ... (2 at + 1) + 1)/2.
a(n)=A063647(n)+1=A046079(2n)+1. - Lekraj Beedassy (blekraj(AT)yahoo.com), Dec 01 2003

EXAMPLE
|
Examples:
n=1: 1/1 = 1/2 + 1/2.
n=2: 1/2 = 1/4 + 1/4 = 1/3 + 1/6.
n=3: 1/3 = 1/6 + 1/6 = 1/4 + 1/12.
