A081863 Largest integer m such that m divides (sigma_(2n+1)(2k-1)-sigma(2k-1)) for all k>=1. 3

%N Largest integer m such that m divides (sigma_(2n+1)(2k-1)-sigma(2k-1)) for all k>=1.

%C a(n)==0 mod 24. It seems that a(n)==0 (mod 2n+1) if and only if 2n+1 is an odd prime.

%C It appears that a(n)=24 for n in A045979, a(n)=168 for n in A051227, a(n)=264 for n in A051229, and a(n)=240 or 480 if n is in A051225. - _Michel Marcus_, Dec 07 2013

%o (PARI) ds(n, k) = sigma(2*k-1, 2*n+1) - sigma(2*k-1);

%o a(n) = {my(m = ds(n, 1)); for (k=2, 100, m = gcd(m, ds(n, k));); m;} \\ Script computes gcd of 100 terms; for current data, 10 terms are actually sufficient; is there a better way? - _Michel Marcus_, Dec 07 2013

%Y Cf. A000203.

%K nonn

%O 1,1
