Let $F(n;i)$ be the number of labeled $i$-edge forests on $n$ vertices ([A138464][1] on the OEIS). The first few values are listed below: $$\begin{array}{r|rrrrrrrrrrr} & i=0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 & 11 \\ \hline n=2 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 3 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 5 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 6 & 1 & 3 & 3 & 3 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 7 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 8 & 1 & 4 & 2 & 4 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 9 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 & 5 & 0 & 0 & 5 & 5 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 11 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ \end{array}$$ We see that if $n$ is an odd prime power and $i \geq 1$, then $n$ divides $F(n;i)$. I can prove this via group actions and induction. *Question*: Is there is a published proof of this result? (Or, alternatively, a succinct proof of this result.) [1]: http://oeis.org/A138464
