FORMULA

n!/(a_1!.a_2!...a_d!.k_1^a_1.k_2^a_2...k_d^a_d) is the number of elements of S_n having order n that are permutations with distinct cycle-lengths k_1, ..., k_d having multiplicities a_1, ..., a_d, where lcm(k_1, ..., k_d)=n. Summing over all permutation types gives the total.

a(n) = n!*coefficient of x^n in expansion of Sum_{i divides n} mu(n/i)*exp(Sum_{j divides i} x^j/j). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Sep 29 2002

EXAMPLE

a(10) = 514080 because {10}, {5, 2, 2, 1} and {5, 2, 1, 1, 1} are the unique multisets of cycle lengths summing to 10 whose lcm is 10 and 10!/(1!.10^1) + 10!/(1!.2!.1!.5^1.2^2.1^1) + 10!/(1!.1!.3!.5^1.2^1.1^3) = 514080
