Previous name: A051731 * A032742 * 0^(n-k), 1 <= k <= n.
Row sums = A143112 = sum of (largest proper divisors of the divisors of n) = inverse Mobius transform (A051731) of A032742 (largest proper divisor of n).
The n-th row records the proper divisors of the divisors of n, where the divisors of n comprise triangle A127093 and the largest proper divisors of n = A032742.

Examples

			First few rows of the triangle:
  1;
  1, 1;
  1, 0, 1;
  1, 1, 0, 2;
  1, 0, 0, 0, 1;
  1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 3;
  1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1;
  1, 1, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 4;
  1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 3;
  1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 5;
  1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1;
  1, 1, 1, 2, 0, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 6;
  ...
Example: The divisors of 12 are shown in row 12 of triangle A127093:
  (1, 2, 3, 4, 0, 6, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 12);
and the largest proper divisors of those terms are:
  (1, 1, 1, 2, 0, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 6)
where the first 12 terms of A031742 (largest proper divisors of n) are:
  (1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 4, 3, 5, 1, 6).

Multiplicative: 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 (this sequence) (k=1), A001157-A001160 (k=2,3,4,5), A013954-A013972 for k = 6,7,...,24. - Ahmed Fares (ahmedfares(AT)my-deja.com), Apr 05 2001
A number n is abundant if sigma(n) > 2n (cf. A005101), perfect if sigma(n) = 2n (cf. A000396), deficient if sigma(n) < 2n (cf. A005100).
a(n) is the number of sublattices of index n in a generic 2-dimensional lattice. - Avi Peretz (njk(AT)netvision.net.il), Jan 29 2001 [In the language of group theory, a(n) is the number of index-n subgroups of Z x Z. - Jianing Song, Nov 05 2022]
The sublattices of index n are in one-to-one correspondence with matrices [a b; 0 d] with a>0, ad=n, b in [0..d-1]. The number of these is Sum_{d|n} d = sigma(n), which is a(n). A sublattice is primitive if gcd(a,b,d) = 1; the number of these is n * Product_{p|n} (1+1/p), which is A001615. [Cf. Grady reference.]
Sum of number of common divisors of n and m, where m runs from 1 to n. - Naohiro Nomoto, Jan 10 2004
a(n) is the cardinality of all extensions over Q_p with degree n in the algebraic closure of Q_p, where p>n. - Volker Schmitt (clamsi(AT)gmx.net), Nov 24 2004. Cf. A100976, A100977, A100978 (p-adic extensions).
Let s(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) - a(n-5) - a(n-7) + a(n-12) + a(n-15) - a(n-22) - a(n-26) + ..., then a(n) = s(n) if n is not pentagonal, i.e., n != (3 j^2 +- j)/2 (cf. A001318), and a(n) is instead s(n) - ((-1)^j)*n if n is pentagonal. - Gary W. Adamson, Oct 05 2008 [corrected Apr 27 2012 by William J. Keith based on Ewell and by Andrey Zabolotskiy, Apr 08 2022]
Write n as 2^k * d, where d is odd. Then a(n) is odd if and only if d is a square. - Jon Perry, Nov 08 2012
Also total number of parts in the partitions of n into equal parts. - Omar E. Pol, Jan 16 2013
Note that sigma(3^4) = 11^2. On the other hand, Kanold (1947) shows that the equation sigma(q^(p-1)) = b^p has no solutions b > 2, q prime, p odd prime. - N. J. A. Sloane, Dec 21 2013, based on postings to the Number Theory Mailing List by Vladimir Letsko and Luis H. Gallardo
Limit_{m->infinity} (Sum_{n=1..prime(m)} a(n)) / prime(m)^2 = zeta(2)/2 = Pi^2/12 (A072691). See more at A244583. - Richard R. Forberg, Jan 04 2015
a(n) + A000005(n) is an odd number iff n = 2m^2, m>=1. - Richard R. Forberg, Jan 15 2015
a(n) = a(n+1) for n = 14, 206, 957, 1334, 1364 (A002961). - Zak Seidov, May 03 2016
Equivalent to the Riemann hypothesis: a(n) < H(n) + exp(H(n))*log(H(n)), for all n>1, where H(n) is the n-th harmonic number (Jeffrey Lagarias). See A057641 for more details. - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Jul 05 2016
a(n) is the total number of even parts in the partitions of 2*n into equal parts. More generally, a(n) is the total number of parts congruent to 0 mod k in the partitions of k*n into equal parts (the comment dated Jan 16 2013 is the case for k = 1). - Omar E. Pol, Nov 18 2019
From Jianing Song, Nov 05 2022: (Start)
a(n) is also the number of order-n subgroups of C_n X C_n, where C_n is the cyclic group of order n. Proof: by the correspondence theorem in the group theory, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the order-n subgroups of C_n X C_n = (Z x Z)/(nZ x nZ) and the index-n subgroups of Z x Z containing nZ x nZ. But an index-n normal subgroup of a (multiplicative) group G contains {g^n : n in G} automatically. The desired result follows from the comment from Naohiro Nomoto above.
The number of subgroups of C_n X C_n that are isomorphic to C_n is A001615(n). (End)

Examples

			For example, 6 is divisible by 1, 2, 3 and 6, so sigma(6) = 1 + 2 + 3 + 6 = 12.
Let L = <V,W> be a 2-dimensional lattice. The 7 sublattices of index 4 are generated by <4V,W>, <V,4W>, <4V,W+-V>, <2V,2W>, <2V+W,2W>, <2V,2W+V>. Compare A001615.

With the convention that a(n) = 0 for n <= 0 we have the recurrence a(n) = t(n) + Sum_{k >= 1} (-1)^(k+1)*(2*k + 1)*a(n - k*(k + 1)/2), where t(n) = (-1)^(m+1)*(2*m+1)*n/3 if n = m*(m + 1)/2, with m positive, is a triangular number else t(n) = 0. For example, n = 10 = (4*5)/2 is a triangular number, t(10) = -30, and so a(10) = -30 + 3*a(9) - 5*a(7) + 7*a(4) = -30 + 39 - 40 + 49 = 18. - Peter Bala, Apr 06 2022

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

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

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

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

Formula

If n is written as 2^z*3^y*5^x*7^w*11^v*... then a(n)=(z+1)*(y+1)*(x+1)*(w+1)*(v+1)*...

Also, the largest number of distinct integers such that all their pairwise differences are coprime to n. - Max Alekseyev, Mar 17 2006
The unit 1 is not a prime number (although it has been considered so in the past). 1 is the empty product of prime numbers, thus 1 has no least prime factor. - Daniel Forgues, Jul 05 2011
a(n) = least m > 0 for which n! + m and n - m are not relatively prime. - Clark Kimberling, Jul 21 2012
For n > 1, a(n) = the smallest k > 1 that divides n. - Antti Karttunen, Feb 01 2014
For n > 1, records are at prime indices. - Zak Seidov, Apr 29 2015
The initials "lpf" might be mistaken for "largest prime factor" (A009190), using "spf" for "smallest prime factor" would avoid this. - M. F. Hasler, Jul 29 2015
n = 89 is the first index > 1 for which a(n) differs from the smallest k > 1 such that (2^k + n - 2)/k is an integer. - M. F. Hasler, Aug 11 2015
From Stanislav Sykora, Jul 29 2017: (Start)
For n > 1, a(n) is also the smallest k, 1 < k <= n, for which the binomial(n,k) is not divisible by n.
Proof: (A) When k and n are relatively prime then binomial(n,k) is divisible by n because k*binomial(n,k) = n*binomial(n-1,k-1). (B) When gcd(n,k) > 1, one of its prime factors is the smallest; let us denote it p, p <= k, and consider the binomial(n,p) = (1/p!)*Product_{i=0..p-1} (n-i). Since p is a divisor of n, it cannot be a divisor of any of the remaining numerator factors. It follows that, denoting as e the largest e > 0 such that p^e|n, the numerator is divisible by p^e but not by p^(e+1). Hence, the binomial is divisible by p^(e-1) but not by p^e and therefore not divisible by n. Applying (A), (B) to all considered values of k completes the proof. (End)
From Bob Selcoe, Oct 11 2017, edited by M. F. Hasler, Nov 06 2017: (Start)
a(n) = prime(j) when n == J (mod A002110(j)), n, j >= 1, where J is the set of numbers <= A002110(j) with smallest prime factor = prime(j). The number of terms in J is A005867(j-1). So:
a(n) = 2 when n == 0 (mod 2);
a(n) = 3 when n == 3 (mod 6);
a(n) = 5 when n == 5 or 25 (mod 30);
a(n) = 7 when n == 7, 49, 77, 91, 119, 133, 161 or 203 (mod 210);
etc. (End)
For n > 1, a(n) is the leftmost term, other than 0 or 1, in the n-th row of A127093. - Davis Smith, Mar 05 2019

T(n,k) is also the number of parts in the k-th partition of n into equal parts (see example). - Omar E. Pol, Nov 20 2019
Let there be an infinite number of tiles, each labeled with a positive integer m, initially placed on square m of an infinite 1D board. At step n, the leftmost unblocked tile (i.e., the top tile of the leftmost nonempty stack) moves forward exactly m squares, where m is its label. Tiles that land on the same square form a stack, and only the top tile of any stack may move. This sequence records the label m of the tile that moves at step n. - Ali Sada, May 23 2025
All divisors of a positive integer n form a finite set. Extending divisibility to n = 0 by using the definition (k|n <=> exists m such that m*k = n) makes the set of divisors infinite, suggesting the definition was not intended for zero, as arithmetic functions typically apply to n >= 1. So to preserve a core property when generalizing (cardinality), one can define divisors of n >= 0 as the fixed points of the greatest common divisor on the set [n] = {0, 1, 2, ..., n}. By this definition, the divisors of 0 are {0}, since 0|0 and gcd(0, 0) = 0. This definition is not circular because the gcd can be effectively calculated using the Euclidean algorithm.

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).
sigma_2(n) is the sum of the squares of the divisors of n.
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 = 6,7,...,24. - Ahmed Fares (ahmedfares(AT)my-deja.com), Apr 05 2001.

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
Also the eigenvalues of the Hecke operator T_n for the entire modular normalized Eisenstein form E_4(z) (see A004009): T_n E_4 = a(n) E_4, n >= 1. For the Hecke operator T_n and eigenforms see, e.g., the Koecher-Krieg reference, p. 207, eq. (5) and p. 211, section 4, or the Apostol reference p. 120, eq. (13) and pp. 129 - 133. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jan 28 2016

Rows equal columns and are periodic. No zero elements are found (conjecture). The recurrence is related to the recurrence for the Mahonian numbers. The main diagonal is the Dirichlet inverse of the Euler totient function A023900 (conjecture). [The 2nd and 3rd formulas state that the conjecture is correct. R. J. Mathar, Sep 16 2017]
The sums from n=1 to infinity of T(n,k)/n converge to the Mangoldt function for column k (conjecture).
If gcd(n,k)=1 then T(n,k)=1 and if T(n,k)=1 then gcd(n,k)=1 (conjecture).
The Dirichlet generating functions for s > 1 for the columns appear to be (see A054535):
Zeta(s)*(1 + (Sum over all possible combinations of products of negative distinct prime factors of k, up to rearrangement, 1/((-1* first distinct prime factor)*(-1*second distinct prime factor)*(-1*third distinct prime factor * ...))^(s-1))).
Examples:
k=1: Zeta(s)
k=2: Zeta(s)*(1 - 1/2^(s-1))
k=3: Zeta(s)*(1 - 1/3^(s-1))
k=4: Zeta(s)*(1 - 1/2^(s-1))
k=5: Zeta(s)*(1 - 1/5^(s-1))
k=6: Zeta(s)*(1 - 1/2^(s-1) - 1/3^(s-1) + 1/6^(s-1))
k=7: Zeta(s)*(1 - 1/7^(s-1))
...
k=30: Zeta(s)*(1 - 1/2^(s-1) - 1/3^(s-1) - 1/5^(s-1) + 1/6^(s-1) + 1/10^(s-1) + 1/15^(s-1) - 1/30^(s-1))
...
(conjecture)
See triangle A142971 for negative distinct prime factors.
This could probably be checked by matrix multiplication.
The signs of the eigenvalues of this matrix are a rearrangement of the Mobius function A008683 (conjecture). The first few eigenvalues are:
{1.0000}
{-1.4142, 1.4142}
{-2.6554, 1.8662, -1.2108}
{-3.4393, 2.1004, -1.6611, 0}
{-4.7711, -3.3867, 2.5910, -1.4332, 0}
{-5.2439, -3.4641, 3.4641, 2.5169, -2.2730, 0}
The relation to Dirichlet characters for the entries in this matrix appears appears to be formulated in terms of the sequence A089026 which is equal to n if n is a prime, otherwise equal to 1. See Mathematica program below. [Mats Granvik, Nov 23 2013]
From Mats Granvik, Jun 19 2016: (Start)
Remark about the Dirichlet generating function for the whole matrix: Subtracting the first column (in the form of zeta(c)) of the matrix gives us the limit: lim_{c->1} zeta(s)*zeta(c)/zeta(c+s-1)-zeta(c) = -zeta'(s)/zeta(s) which is the classical Dirichlet generating function for the von Mangoldt function.
For n >= k, see A231425, this matrix has row sums equal to zero except for the first row:
1=1
1-1=0
1+1-2=0
1-1+1-1=0
1+1+1+1-4=0
...
log(A014963(n)) = Sum_{k>=1} A191898(n,k)/k, for n>1.
log(A014963(k)) = Sum_{n>=1} A191898(n,k)/n, for k>1.
log(A014963(n)) = limit of zeta(s)*(Sum_{d divides n} A008683(d)/d^(s-1)) as s->1, for n>1.
A008683(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} A191898(n,k)*exp(-i*2*Pi*k/n)/n.
A008683(n) = Sum_{n=1..k} A191898(n,k)*exp(-i*2*Pi*n/k)/k.
(End)
From Mats Granvik, Aug 09 2016: (Start)
The Dirichlet generating function for the matrix is zero for any pair c and s = 2 - c and any pair s and c = 2 - s except at the pole c = 1 and s = 1 where it is indeterminate.
In the Mathematica program section, in the expression for the matrix as Dirichlets characters, the variables s and c can apparently be any pair of positive integers.
Limits related to the Dirichlet generating function for the matrix: Let s = ZetaZero(n), then lim_{c->1} zeta(s*c)/zeta(c+s-1) = ZetaZero(n). Let s = ZetaZero(n), then lim_{c->1} zeta(s*c)/zeta(c+s*c-1) = ZetaZero(n)/(1+ZetaZero(n)).

In other words: in row n replace every term of n-th row of A176206 with its divisors.
The terms in row n are also all parts of all partitions of n.
As in A336812 here we introduce a new type of table which shows the correspondence between divisors and partitions. More precisely the table shows the correspondence between all divisors of all terms of the n-th row of A176206 and all parts of all partitions of n, with n >= 1. Both the mentionded divisors and the mentioned parts are the same numbers (see Example section). That is because all divisors of the first A000070(n-1) terms of A336811 are also all parts of all partitions of n.
For an equivalent table for all parts of the last section of the set of partitions of n see the subsequence A336812. The section is the smallest substructure of the set of partitions in which appears the correspondence divisor/part.
From Omar E. Pol, Aug 01 2021: (Start)
The terms of row n appears in the triangle A346741 ordered in accordance with the successive sections of the set of partitions of n.
The terms of row n in nonincreasing order give the n-th row of A302246.
The terms of row n in nondecreasing order give the n-th row of A302247.
For the connection with the tower described in A221529 see also A340035. (End)

Examples

			Triangle begins:
  [1];
  [1,2],   [1];
  [1,3],   [1,2],   [1],   [1];
  [1,2,4], [1,3],   [1,2], [1,2], [1],   [1],   [1];
  [1,5],   [1,2,4], [1,3], [1,3], [1,2], [1,2], [1,2], [1], [1], [1], [1], [1];
  ...
For n = 5 the 5th row of A176206 is [5, 4, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1] so replacing every term with its divisors we have the 5th row of this triangle.
Also, if the sequence is written as an irregular tetrahedron so the first six slices are:
  [1],
  -------
  [1, 2],
  [1],
  -------
  [1, 3],
  [1, 2],
  [1],
  [1];
  ----------
  [1, 2, 4],
  [1, 3],
  [1, 2],
  [1, 2],
  [1],
  [1],
  [1];
  ----------
  [1, 5],
  [1, 2, 4],
  [1, 3],
  [1, 3],
  [1, 2],
  [1, 2],
  [1, 2],
  [1],
  [1],
  [1],
  [1],
  [1];
.
The above slices appear in the lower zone of the following table which shows the correspondence between the mentioned divisors and all parts of all partitions of the positive integers.
The table is infinite. It is formed by three zones as follows:
The upper zone shows the partitions of every positive integer in colexicographic order (cf. A026792, A211992).
The lower zone shows the same numbers but arranged as divisors in accordance with the slices of the tetrahedron mentioned above.
Finally the middle zone shows the connection between the upper zone and the lower zone.
For every positive integer the numbers in the upper zone are the same numbers as in the lower zone.

.
Note that every row in the lower zone lists A027750.
Also the lower zone for every positive integer can be constructed using the first n terms of the partition numbers. For example: for n = 5 we consider the first 5 terms of A000041 (that is [1, 1, 2, 3, 5]) then the 5th slice is formed by a block with the divisors of 5, one block with the divisors of 4, two blocks with the divisors of 3, three blocks with the divisors of 2, and five blocks with the divisors of 1.
Note that the lower zone is also in accordance with the tower (a polycube) described in A221529 in which its terraces are the symmetric representation of sigma starting from the top (cf. A237593) and the heights of the mentioned terraces are the partition numbers A000041 starting from the base.
The tower has the same volume (also the same number of cubes) equal to A066186(n) as a prism of partitions of size 1*n*A000041(n).
The above table shows the correspondence between the prism of partitions and its associated tower since the number of parts in all partitions of n is equal to A006128(n) equaling the number of divisors in the n-th slice of the lower table and equaling the same the number of terms in the n-th row of triangle. Also the sum of all parts of all partitions of n is equal to A066186(n) equaling the sum of all divisors in the n-th slice of the lower table and equaling the sum of the n-th row of triangle.
