Summary:
Consider the $n\times n$ matrix with $(i,j)$'th entry $\gcd {(i,j)}$. Its largest eigenvalue $\lambda _n$ and sum of entries $s_n$ satisfy $\lambda _n>s_n/n$. Because $s_n$ cannot be expressed algebraically as a function of $n$, we underestimate it in several ways. In examples, we compare the bounds so obtained with one another and with a bound from S. Hong, R. Loewy (2004). We also conjecture that $\lambda _n>6\pi ^{-2}n\log {n}$ for all $n$. If $n$ is large enough, this follows from F. Balatoni (1969).
