Number of unordered lists of powers of permutation of length n (equivalent to the definition). - Olivier Gérard, Jul 04 2011
Number of subgroups of S_n with different permutations generated by single permutation (see Mathematica procedure). - Artur Jasinski, Oct 27 2011

Examples

			The 5 cyclic subgroups of symmetric group S_3 are: {Id}, the 3 subgroups {Id,(a,b)}, {Id,(b,c)}, {Id,(a,c)} and the Alternating group A_3: <Id, (a,b,c), (a,c,b)>.
The 17 cyclic subgroups of symmetric group S_4 are: {Id}, the 6 subgroups of type <(a,b)>, the 3 subgroups of type <(a,b)(c,d)>, the 4 subgroups of type <(a,b,c)> and the 3 subgroups of type <(a,b,c,d)>. - _Bernard Schott_, Feb 25 2019

Formula

a(n) = Sum_{pi} n!/(k_1!*1^k_1*k_2!*2^k_2*...*k_n!*n^k_n*phi(lcm{i:k_i != 0})), where pi runs through all partitions k_1+2*k_2+...+n*k_n=n and phi is Euler's function.
