FORMULA
a(n) = 255*A160897(n). - R. J. Mathar, Mar 15 2016
From Amiram Eldar, Nov 08 2022: (Start)
Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ c * n^7, where c = (255/7) * Product_{p prime} (1 + (p^6-1)/((p-1)*p^7)) = 70.419647503... .
Sum_{k>=1} 1/a(k) = (zeta(6)*zeta(7)/255) * Product_{p prime} (1 - 2/p^7 + 1/p^13) = 0.003956793297... . (End)
MATHEMATICA
