A355626 a(n) is the number of tuples (t_1, ..., t_n) with integers 2 <= t_1 <= ... <= t_n such that Product_{i = 1..n} (3 + 1/t_i) is an integer.

Examples
a(1) = 0: As 1/t_1 is not an integer for t_1 >= 2, there is no t_1 >= 2 with integer 3 + 1/t_1. a(2) = 3: With p := (3 + 1/t_1) * (3 + 1/t_2) we have p > 9, so for integer p it is p >= 10. With p <= (3 + 1/t_1)^2 we get t_1 <= 6. Solving p = 10, p = 11, p = 12 with 2 <= t_1 <= 6 for t_2 shows that the only integer solutions are (t_1,t_2) = (4,13) and (t_1,t_2) = (5,8) for p = 10, and (t_1,t_2) = (2,7) for p = 11.
