%C By Theorem 131 in Hardy and Wright, p^2 divides a(p - 1) for prime p > 5. - _T. D. Noe_, Sep 05 2002

%C p^3 divides a(p - 1) for prime p = 37. Primes p such that p divides a((p + 1)/2) are listed in A124787(n) = {3, 11, 17, 89}. - _Alexander Adamchuk_, Nov 07 2006

%C a(n)/A007409(n) is the partial sum towards zeta(3), where zeta(s) is the Riemann zeta function. - _Alonso del Arte_, Dec 30 2012

%C See the Wolfdieter Lang link under A103345 on Zeta(k, n) with the rationals for k=1..10, g.f.s and polygamma formulas. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Dec 03 2013

%C Denominator of the harmonic mean of the first n cubes. - _Colin Barker_, Nov 13 2014
