%N Determinant of the n X n matrix with (i,j)-entry equal to the greatest common divisor of i-j and n.

%C Conjecture: (i) a(n) is always positive and divisible by Phi(n)^{Phi(n)}*sum_{d|n}Phi(d)*n/d, where Phi(n) is Euler's totient function.

%C (ii) For any composite number n, all prime divisors of a(n) are smaller than n.

%C It is easy to show that a(n) is divisible by sum_[d|n}Phi(d)*n/d) = sum_{k=1,...,n}gcd(k,n), and a(p) = (p-1)^{p-1}*(2p-1) for any prime p.
