Formula

G.f.: Sum_{k>=1} (-1)^(k-1)*k^5*x^k/(1 - x^k). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Dec 23 2018

G.f.: Sum_{n >= 1} x^n*(x^(4*n) - 26*x^(3*n) + 66*x^(2*n) - 26*x^n + 1)/(1 + x^n)^6 (note [1,26,66,26,1] is row 5 of A008292). - Peter Bala, Jan 11 2021

Multiplicative with a(2^e) = 2 - (2^(5*e + 5) - 1)/31, and a(p^e) = (p^(5*e + 5) - 1)/(p^5 - 1) for p > 2. - Amiram Eldar, Nov 04 2022
