%N A080997 The positive integers arranged in nonincreasing order of centrality (the
fraction of n represented by the average gcd of n and the other positive
integers).
%C A080997 Equivalent descriptions of the centrality of n: 1) Probability that a
randomly chosen product in the multiplication table for positive
integers (A003991; see also A061017) is a multiple of n.
%C A080997 2) Probability taken over all exponential numerical bases that if the
last digit of a number represents n, the number is a multiple of
n. (For example, in base 10, the probability of a number that ends
in 5 being a multiple of 5 is 1. Over all possible bases, the fraction
of numbers ending in 5 that are multiples of 5 is the centrality
of 5, 9/25 or .36.)
%C A080997 An infinite number of integers have the same centrality as at least one
other integer. The only such examples in the first 114 terms of the
sequence are 64 and 120, which share a centrality of .0625; they
are listed in numerical order.

%F A080997 Formula for centrality of n: A018804(n)/n^2, where A018804(n) is the
sum of gcd (k, n) for 1 <= k <= n.
%F A080997 The centrality of a(n) is given by A080999(n)/(a(n))^2.
%e A080997 The number 6 has a gcd of 1 with all numbers congruent to 1 or 5 modulo
6, 2 with all numbers congruent to 2 or 4 mod 6, 3 with all 3 mod
6 numbers and 6 with all numbers congruent to 0 mod 6. Its average
gcd with other integers is 2.5 (A018804(6)/6), which represents 5/
12 or .41666... of 6. This places 6 fifth in centrality among the
integers, behind 1 (whose centrality is 1), 2 (.75), 3 (5/9 or .555...)
and 4 (.5); it is therefore listed fifth in the sequence.
%Y A080997 Cf. A018804, A080999 for a formula for the numerator of the unreduced
centrality fraction. Other related sequences are A080998, A081000,
