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.
Also sum of square divisors of n^2. - Michel Marcus, Jan 14 2014
Conjecture: For each k = 2,3,..., all the rational numbers sigma_k(n)/n^k = Sum_{d|n} 1/d^k (n = 1,2,3,...) have pairwise distinct fractional parts. - Zhi-Wei Sun, Oct 15 2015
5 is the only prime entry in the sequence. - Drake Thomas, Dec 18 2016
4*a(n) = sum of squares of even divisors of 2*n. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jan 07 2017
