If the canonical factorization of n into prime powers is Product p^e(p) then d(n) = Product (e(p) + 1). More generally, for k > 0, sigma_k(n) = Product_p ((p^((e(p)+1)*k))-1)/(p^k-1) is the sum of the k-th powers of the divisors of n.
Number of ways to write n as n = x*y, 1 <= x <= n, 1 <= y <= n. For number of unordered solutions to x*y=n, see A038548.
Note that d(n) is not the number of Pythagorean triangles with radius of the inscribed circle equal to n (that is A078644). For number of primitive Pythagorean triangles having inradius n, see A068068(n).
Number of factors in the factorization of the polynomial x^n-1 over the integers. - T. D. Noe, Apr 16 2003
Also equal to the number of partitions p of n such that all the parts have the same cardinality, i.e., max(p)=min(p). - Giovanni Resta, Feb 06 2006
Equals A127093 as an infinite lower triangular matrix * the harmonic series, [1/1, 1/2, 1/3, ...]. - Gary W. Adamson, May 10 2007
For odd n, this is the number of partitions of n into consecutive integers. Proof: For n = 1, clearly true. For n = 2k + 1, k >= 1, map each (necessarily odd) divisor to such a partition as follows: For 1 and n, map k + (k+1) and n, respectively. For any remaining divisor d <= sqrt(n), map (n/d - (d-1)/2) + ... + (n/d - 1) + (n/d) + (n/d + 1) + ... + (n/d + (d-1)/2) {i.e., n/d plus (d-1)/2 pairs each summing to 2n/d}. For any remaining divisor d > sqrt(n), map ((d-1)/2 - (n/d - 1)) + ... + ((d-1)/2 - 1) + (d-1)/2 + (d+1)/2 + ((d+1)/2 + 1) + ... + ((d+1)/2 + (n/d - 1)) {i.e., n/d pairs each summing to d}. As all such partitions must be of one of the above forms, the 1-to-1 correspondence and proof is complete. - Rick L. Shepherd, Apr 20 2008
Number of subgroups of the cyclic group of order n. - Benoit Jubin, Apr 29 2008
Equals row sums of triangle A143319. - Gary W. Adamson, Aug 07 2008
Equals row sums of triangle A159934, equivalent to generating a(n) by convolving A000005 prefaced with a 1; (1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 2, ...) with the INVERTi transform of A000005, (A159933): (1, 1,-1, 0, -1, 2, ...). Example: a(6) = 4 = (1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 2) dot (2, -1, 0, -1, 1, 1) = (2, -1, 0, -2, 3, 2) = 4. - Gary W. Adamson, Apr 26 2009
Number of times n appears in an n X n multiplication table. - Dominick Cancilla, Aug 02 2010
Number of k >= 0 such that (k^2 + k*n + k)/(k + 1) is an integer. - Juri-Stepan Gerasimov, Oct 25 2015
The only numbers k such that tau(k) >= k/2 are 1,2,3,4,6,8,12. - Michael De Vlieger, Dec 14 2016
a(n) is also the number of partitions of 2*n into equal parts, minus the number of partitions of 2*n into consecutive parts. - Omar E. Pol, May 03 2017

Let k(n) = log d(n)*log log n/(log 2 * log n), then lim sup k(n) = 1 (Hardy and Wright, Chapter 18, Theorem 317) and k(n) <= k(6983776800) = 1.537939... (the constant A280235) for every n (Nicolas and Robin, 1983).
There exist infinitely many n such that d(n) = d(n+1) (Heath-Brown, 1984). The number of such integers n <= x is at least c*x/(log log x)^3 (Hildebrand, 1987) but at most O(x/sqrt(log log x)) (Erdős, Carl Pomerance and Sárközy, 1987). (End)
Number of 2D grids of n congruent rectangles with two different side lengths, in a rectangle, modulo rotation (cf. A038548 for squares instead of rectangles). Also number of ways to arrange n identical objects in a rectangle (NOT modulo rotation, cf. A038548 for modulo rotation); cf. A007425 and A140773 for the 3D case. - Manfred Boergens, Jun 08 2021
The constant quoted above from Nicolas and Robin, 6983776800 = 2^5 * 3^3 * 5^2 * 7 * 11 * 13 * 17 * 19, appears arbitrary, but interestingly equals 2 * A095849(36). That second factor is highly composite and deeply composite. - Hal M. Switkay, Aug 08 2025

Moebius inversion: f(n) = Sum_{d|n} g(d) for all n <=> g(n) = Sum_{d|n} mu(d)*f(n/d) for all n.
a(n) depends only on prime signature of n (cf. A025487). So a(24) = a(375) since 24 = 2^3 * 3 and 375 = 3 * 5^3 both have prime signature (3, 1).

Conjecture: a(n) is the determinant of Redheffer matrix A143104 where T(n, n) = 0. Verified for the first 50 terms. - Mats Granvik, Jul 25 2008
From Mats Granvik, Dec 06 2008: (Start)
The Editorial Office of the Journal of Number Theory kindly provided (via B. Conrey) the following proof of the conjecture: Let A be A143104 and B be A143104 where T(n, n) = 0.
"Suppose you expand det(B_n) along the bottom row. There is only a 1 in the first position and so the answer is (-1)^n times det(C_{n-1}) say, where C_{n-1} is the (n-1) by (n-1) matrix obtained from B_n by deleting the first column and the last row. Now the determinant of the Redheffer matrix is det(A_n) = M(n) where M(n) is the sum of mu(m) for 1 <= m <= n. Expanding det(A_n) along the bottom row, we see that det(A_n) = (-1)^n * det(C_{n-1}) + M(n-1). So we have det(B_n) = (-1)^n * det(C_{n-1}) = det(A_n) - M(n-1) = M(n) - M(n-1) = mu(n)." (End)
Conjecture: Consider the table A051731 and treat 1 as a divisor. Move the value in the lower right corner vertically to a divisor position in the transpose of the table and you will find that the determinant is the Moebius function. The number of permutation matrices that contribute to the Moebius function appears to be A074206. - Mats Granvik, Dec 08 2008

Calculate matrix powers: A175992^0 - A175992^1 + A175992^2 - A175992^3 + A175992^4 - ... Then the Mobius function is found in the first column. Compare this to the binomial series for (1+x)^-1 = 1 - x + x^2 - x^3 + x^4 - ... . - Mats Granvik, Gary W. Adamson, Dec 06 2010
From Richard L. Ollerton, May 08 2021: (Start)
Formulas for the numerous OEIS entries involving the Möbius transform (Dirichlet convolution of a(n) and some sequence h(n)) can be derived using the following (n >= 1):
Sum_{d|n} mu(d)*h(n/d) = Sum_{k=1..n} h(gcd(n,k))*mu(n/gcd(n,k))/phi(n/gcd(n,k)) = Sum_{k=1..n} h(n/gcd(n,k))*mu(gcd(n,k))/phi(n/gcd(n,k)), where phi = A000010.
Use of gcd(n,k)*lcm(n,k) = n*k provides further variations. (End)
Formulas for products corresponding to the sums above are also available for sequences f(n) > 0: Product_{d|n} f(n/d)^mu(d) = Product_{k=1..n} f(gcd(n,k))^(mu(n/gcd(n,k))/phi(n/gcd(n,k))) = Product_{k=1..n} f(n/gcd(n,k))^(mu(gcd(n,k))/phi(n/gcd(n,k))). - Richard L. Ollerton, Nov 08 2021

Conjecture: the sequence contains exactly those k such that sigma(k) > k*BigOmega(k). - Irina Gerasimova, Jun 08 2013
Note on the Gerasimova conjecture: all terms in the sequence obviously satisfy the inequality, because sigma(p) = 1+p and BigOmega(p) = 1 for primes p, so 1+p > p*1. For composites, the (opposite) inequality is heuristically correct at least up to k <= 4400000. The general proof requires to show that BigOmega(k) is an upper limit of the abundancy sigma(k)/k for composite k. This proof is easy for semiprimes k=p1*p2 in general, where sigma(k)=1+p1+p2+p1*p2 and BigOmega(k)=2 and p1, p2 <= 2. - R. J. Mathar, Jun 12 2013

In 1751 Leonhard Euler wrote: "Having so established this sign S to indicate the sum of the divisors of the number in front of which it is placed, it is clear that, if p indicates a prime number, the value of Sp will be 1 + p, except for the case where p = 1, because then we have S1 = 1, and not S1 = 1 + 1. From this we see that we must exclude unity from the sequence of prime numbers, so that unity, being the start of whole numbers, it is neither prime nor composite." - Omar E. Pol, Oct 12 2021

If the canonical factorization of n into prime powers is the product of p^e(p) then sigma_k(n) = Product_p ((p^((e(p)+1)*k))-1)/(p^k-1).
Sum_{d|n} 1/d^k is equal to sigma_k(n)/n^k. So sequences A017665-A017712 also give the numerators and denominators of sigma_k(n)/n^k for k = 1..24. The power sums sigma_k(n) are in sequences A000203 (k=1), A001157-A001160 (k=2,3,4,5), A013954-A013972 for k = 6..24. - Ahmed Fares (ahmedfares(AT)my-deja.com), Apr 05 2001

Partial sums of the Moebius function A008683.
Also determinant of n X n (0,1) matrix defined by A(i,j)=1 if j=1 or i divides j.
The first positive value of Mertens's function for n > 1 is for n = 94. The graph seems to show a negative bias for the Mertens function which is eerily similar to the Chebyshev bias (described in A156749 and A156709). The purported bias seems to be empirically approximated to - (6 / Pi^2) * (sqrt(n) / 4) (by looking at the graph) (see MathOverflow link, May 28 2012) where 6 / Pi^2 = 1 / zeta(2) is the asymptotic density of squarefree numbers (the squareful numbers having Moebius mu of 0). This would be a growth pattern akin to the Chebyshev bias. - Daniel Forgues, Jan 23 2011
All integers appear infinitely often in this sequence. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Aug 06 2012
Soundararajan proves that, on the Riemann Hypothesis, a(n) << sqrt(n) exp(sqrt(log n)*(log log n)^14), sharpening the well-known equivalence. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Jul 17 2015
Balazard & De Roton improve this (on the Riemann Hypothesis) to a(n) << sqrt(n) exp(sqrt(log n)*(log log n)^k) for any k > 5/2, where the implied constant in the Vinogradov symbol depends on k. Saha & Sankaranarayanan reduce the exponent to 5/4 on additional hypotheses. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Feb 02 2023

The identity function for Dirichlet multiplication (see Apostol).
Sum of the Moebius function mu(d) of the divisors d of n. - Robert G. Wilson v, Sep 30 2006
-a(n) is the Hankel transform of A000045(n), n >= 0 (Fibonacci numbers). See A055879 for the definition of Hankel transform. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jan 23 2007
a(A000012(n)) = 1; a(A087156(n)) = 0. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Oct 11 2008
a(n) for n >= 1 is the Dirichlet convolution of following functions b(n), c(n), a(n) = Sum_{d|n} b(d)*c(n/d): a(n) = A008683(n) * A000012(n), a(n) = A007427(n) * A000005(n), a(n) = A007428(n) * A007425(n). - Jaroslav Krizek, Mar 03 2009
From Christopher Hunt Gribble, Jul 11 2013: (Start)
a(n) for 1 <= n <= 4 and conjectured for n > 4 is the number of Hamiltonian circuits in a 2n X 2n square lattice of nodes, reduced for symmetry, where the orbits under the symmetry group of the square, D4, have 1 element: When n=1, there is only 1 Hamiltonian circuit in a 2 X 2 square lattice, as illustrated below.  The circuit is the same when rotated and/or reflected and so has only 1 orbital element under the symmetry group of the square.

Convolution property: For any sequence b(n), the sequence c(n)=b(n)*a(n) has the following values: c(1)=0, c(n+1)=b(n) for all n > 1. In other words, the sequence b(n) is shifted 1 step to the right. - David Neil McGrath, Nov 10 2014

For n >= 1:
a(n) = Sum_{d|n} A000010(n/d) * A023900(d), and similarly for any pair of sequences that are Dirichlet inverses of each other, like for example A000027 & A055615 and those mentioned in Krizek's Mar 03 2009 comment above.
a(n) = [A101296(n) == 1], where [ ] is the Iverson bracket.
Fully multiplicative with a(p^e) = 0. (End)
