%C This sequence is multiplicative. - _Mitch Harris_, Apr 19 2005

%C The sequence enumerates the solutions of a system of polynomials equations modulo n, hence is multiplicative by the Chinese Remainder Theorem. The middle entry of the 3 X 3 is zero modulo n. - _Michael Somos_, Apr 30 2005

%F a(n) = A008833(n)*n^2, where A008833(n) is the largest square that divides n.

%F Multiplicative with a(p^e) = p^(3e - (e % 2)). - _Mitch Harris_, Jun 09 2005

%F Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ zeta(3/2) * n^(7/2) / (7*zeta(3)). - _Vaclav Kotesovec_, Sep 16 2020

%F Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = 15*zeta(6)/Pi^2 = A082020 * A013664 = 1.546176... . - _Amiram Eldar_, Nov 03 2022
