FORMULA

a(p) = 1 for a prime p.

a(p^2) = 1 for a prime p != 3.

a(A129521(n)) = 1 for n > 3.

For a harmonic number m = A001599(k), a(m) = A099377(m) = A001600(k).

EXAMPLE

a(2) = 1 since the continued fraction of the harmonic mean of the divisors of 2, 4/3 = 1 + 1/3, has 2 elements, {1, 3}, and the smallest of them is 1.
