COMMENT

a(n) is an integer by Legendre's formula for the exponent of the highest power of a prime dividing n!.

a(2n-1) = n*a(2n) because A053657(2n) = 2*A053657(2n-1).

See A053657 for additional comments, references, and links.

FORMULA

a(n) = (1/n!)*Prod_{p prime} p^{Sum_{k>=0} [(n-1)/((p-1)p^k)]}.

EXAMPLE

a(4) = A053657(4)/4! = 48/24 = 2.
