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
From Tomohiro Yamada, Oct 27 2020: (Start)
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

This sequence could be derived from the following general formula (cf. A001286, A000330): n*(n+1)*...*(n+k)*(n + (n+1) + ... + (n+k))/((k+2)!*(k+1)/2) at k = 0. Indeed, using the formula for the sum of the arithmetic progression (n + (n+1) + ... + (n+k)) = (2*n + k)*(k + 1)/2 the general formula could be rewritten as: n*(n+1)*...*(n+k)*(2*n+k)/(k+2)! so for k = 0 above general formula degenerates to n*(2*n + 0)/(0 + 2) = n^2. - Alexander R.

a(n) is the number of squarefree divisors of n, but in general the set of unitary divisors of n is not the set of squarefree divisors (compare the rows of A077610 and A206778). - Jaroslav Krizek, May 04 2009
Row lengths of the triangles in A077610 and in A206778. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Feb 12 2012

a(n) is the number of (x,y) lattice points satisfying both x*y=n and (x,y) is visible from (0,0), x and y positive integers. - Luc Rousseau, Jul 10 2017
Conjecture: For any nonnegative integer k and positive integer n, the sum of the k-th powers of the unitary divisors of n is divisible by the sum of the k-th powers of the odd unitary divisors of n (note that this sequence lists the sum of the 0th powers of the unitary divisors of n). - Ivan N.

Conjecture: Let b(i; n), n > 0, be multiplicative sequences for some fixed integer i >= 0 with b(i; p^e) = (Sum_{k=1..i+1} A164652(i, k) * e^(k-1)) * (i+2) / (i!) for prime p and e > 0. Then we have Dirichlet generating functions: Sum_{n > 0} b(i; n) / n^s = (zeta(s))^(i+2) / zeta((i+2) * s). Examples for i=0 this sequence, for i=1 A226602, and for i=2 A286779. - Werner Schulte, Feb 17 2022
The smallest integer with 2^m unitary divisors, or equivalently, the smallest integer with 2^m squarefree divisors, is A002110(m). - Bernard Schott, Oct 04 2022

			a(12) = 4 because the four unitary divisors of 12 are 1, 3, 4, 12, and also because the four squarefree divisors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 6.

Coons and Borwein: "We give a new proof of Fatou's theorem: if an algebraic function has a power series expansion with bounded integer coefficients, then it must be a rational function. This result is applied to show that for any non-trivial completely multiplicative function from N to {-1,1}, the series sum_{n=1..infinity} f(n)z^n is transcendental over {Z}[z]; in particular, sum_{n=1..infinity} lambda(n)z^n is transcendental, where lambda is Liouville's function. The transcendence of sum_{n=1..infinity} mu(n)z^n is also proved." - Jonathan Vos Post, Jun 11 2008
Coons proves that a(n) is not k-automatic for any k > 2. - Jonathan Vos Post, Oct 22 2008
The Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to the statement that for every fixed epsilon > 0, lim_{n -> infinity} (a(1) + a(2) + ... + a(n))/n^(1/2 + epsilon) = 0 (Borwein et al., theorem 1.2). - Arkadiusz Wesolowski, Oct 08 2013

			a(4) = 1 because since bigomega(4) = 2 (the prime divisor 2 is counted twice), then (-1)^2 = 1.
a(5) = -1 because 5 is prime and therefore bigomega(5) = 1 and (-1)^1 = -1.

Number of elements in the set {(x,y): x|n, y|n, x<=y, gcd(x,y)=1}. Number of divisors of n^2 less than or equal to n. - Vladeta Jovovic, May 03 2002
Equivalently, number of pairs (x,y) such that lcm(x,y)=n. - Benoit Cloitre, May 16 2002
Also, number of right triangles with an integer hypotenuse and height n. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jul 10 2002
The triangles are to be considered as resting on their hypotenuse, with the height measured to the right angle. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Feb 19 2015

a(n) is the number of divisors of n^2 that are <= n; e.g., a(12) counts these 8 divisors of 12: 1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12. - Clark Kimberling, Apr 21 2019
