%N A147848 Number (up to isomorphism) of groups of order 2n that have Z/nZ as a 
               subgroup (that is, that have an element of order n).
%C A147848 This sequence is related to A060594 : in fact, for every square root 
               of unity modulo n, there are either one or two such groups of order 
               2n.
%F A147848 a(2) = 2; a(4) = 4; a(2^k) = 6 for k >= 3.
%F A147848 a(p^k) = 2 for any odd prime number p and k >= 1.
%F A147848 For other values of n, you can find a(n) by using the fact that the sequence 
               is multiplicative.
%e A147848 Two such groups that always exist are the cyclic group Z/(2n)Z and the 
               dihedral group Dih_n. If n is prime, these are the only such groups, 
               so the n-th term equals 2.
%e A147848 For even values of n, we also have the direct product Z/nZ x Z/2Z and 
               the dicyclic group Dic_n. If n = 2p with p prime, there are no other 
               groups, so the n-th term equals 4.
%Y A147848 Cf. A060594.
