COMMENT

a(n)=GCD( C(n+1,1),C(n+2,2),...,C(2n,n) ) where C(n,k)=binomial(n,k). - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Jan 31 2003

a(n)=gcd(C(n,1), C(n+1,2), C(n+2,3), ...., C(2n-2,n-1)), where C(n,k)=binomial(n,k). - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Jan 31 2003; corrected by Ant King, Dec 27 2005

Note: a(n) != GCD[A008472(n), A007947(n)], gcd of rad[n] and sopf[n] (this fails for the first time at n=30), since a(30)=1 but gcd(rad(30), sopf(30))=gcd(30,10)=10.

There are arbitrarily long runs of ones (Sierpinski). - Franz Vrabec (franz.vrabec(AT)planetuniqa.at), Sep 26 2005

a(n) is the smallest positive integer such that n divides product{k=1 to n} a(k), for all positive integers n. - Leroy Quet May 01 2007

a(n)*A100994 gives the last row of the columns in A133233. - Mats Granvik (mgranvik(AT)abo.fi), Jan 22 2008

A140580(n) = n*a(n) = (n^2)/A048671(n) = A140579 * [1,2,3,...]. - Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), May 17 2008
