All terms are multiples of 24 [Gupta, Sierpinski]. - Vincenzo Librandi, Apr 07 2011
Note that 24n - 1 is also the denominator of the Bruinier-Ono finite algebraic formula for the number of partitions of n (Cf. A183010).

FORMULA
Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) = c * n^2 + O(n*log(n)), where c = 4*Pi^2/3 = 13.159472... . - Amiram Eldar, Mar 28 2024
EXAMPLE
For n = 5 we have that 24*5 - 1 = 119, and the sum of the divisors of 119 is 1 + 7 + 17 + 119 = 144, so a(5) = 144.
