%C For the o.g.f.s of such sequences see the W. Lang link under A196837. The e.g.f.s are trivial. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Oct 14 2011

%C a(n) is divisible by 7 iff n is not divisible by 6 (see De Koninck & Mercier reference). Example: a(5)= 12201 = 7 * 1743 and a(6) = 67171 = 9595 * 7 + 6. - _Bernard Schott_, Mar 06 2020

%F a(n) = Sum_{k=1..6} k^n.

%F From _Wolfdieter Lang_, Oct 10 2011: (Start)

%F E.g.f.: (1-exp(6*x))/(exp(-x)-1) = Sum_{j=1..6} exp(j*x) (trivial).

%F O.g.f.: (2 - 7*x)*(3 - 42*x + 203*x^2 - 392*x^3 + 252*x^4)/Product_{j=1..6} (1 - j*x).

%F From the Laplace transformation of the e.g.f. (with argument 1/p, and multiplied with 1/p), which yields the partial fraction decomposition of the given o.g.f., namely Sum_{j=1..6} 1/(1 - j*x).
