COMMENT

a(n) divides n+3 because A(n+2) = (n+2)(n+1)*A(n) + n+3.

FORMULA

a(n) = GCD(A093101(n), A093101(n+2)) = (n+3)/A123901(n)

a(n) = GCD(A(n), A(n+2), n!) where A(n)=1+n+n(n-1)+...+n! - Jonathan Sondow (jsondow(AT)alumni.princeton.edu), Nov 13 2006

EXAMPLE

a(3) = GCD(d(3),d(5)) = GCD(GCD(3!,16), GCD(5!,326)) = GCD(2,2) =
