A111059 is a subsequence. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jul 05 2010
Choie et al. (2007) call these "Hardy-Ramanujan integers". - Jean-François Alcover, Aug 14 2014
The exponents k1, k2, ... can be read off Abramowitz & Stegun p. 831, column labeled "pi".
For all such sequences b for which it holds that b(n) = b(A046523(n)), the sequence which gives the indices of records in b is a subsequence of this sequence. For example, A002182 which gives the indices of records for A000005, A002110 which gives them for A001221 and A000079 which gives them for A001222. - Antti Karttunen, Jan 18 2019
The prime signature corresponding to a(n) is given in row n of A124832. - M. F. Hasler, Jul 17 2019

			The first few terms are 1, 2, 2^2, 2*3, 2^3, 2^2*3, 2^4, 2^3*3, 2*3*5, ...

An assertion equivalent to the Riemann hypothesis is: | log(a(n)) - n | < sqrt(n) * log(n)^2. - Lekraj Beedassy, Aug 27 2006. (This is wrong for n = 1 and n = 2. Should "for n large enough" be added? - Georgi Guninski, Oct 22 2011)

a(n) = lcm(A188666(n), A188666(n)+1, ..., n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Apr 25 2011
a(n+1) is the smallest integer such that all polynomials a(n+1)*(1^i + 2^i + ... + m^i) in m, for i=0,1,...,n, are polynomials with integer coefficients. - Vladimir Shevelev, Dec 23 2011

What is the largest number of consecutive terms that are all equal? I found 112 equal terms from a(370261) to a(370372). - Dmitry Kamenetsky, May 05 2019
Answer: there exist arbitrarily long sequences of consecutive terms with the same value; also, the maximal run of consecutive terms with different values is 5 from a(1) to a(5) (see link Roger B. Eggleton). - Bernard Schott, Aug 07 2019
Related to the inequality (54) in Ramanujan's paper about highly composite numbers A002182, also used in A199337: a(A329570(m))^2 is a (not minimal) bound above which all highly composite numbers are divisible by m, according to the right part of that inequality. - M. F. Hasler, Jan 04 2020
For n > 2, a(n) is of the form 2^e_1 * p_2^e_2 * ... * p_m^e_m, where e_m = 1 and e = floor(log_2(p_m)) <= e_1. Therefore, 2^e * p_m^e_m is a primitive Zumkeler number (A180332). Therefore, 2^e_1 * p_m^e_m is a Zumkeller number (A083207). Therefore, for n > 2, a(n) = 2^e_1 * p_m^e_m * r, where r is relatively prime to 2*p_m, is a Zumkeller number (see my proof at A002182 for details). - Ivan N. Ianakiev, May 10 2020
For n > 1, 2|(a(n)+2) ... n|(a(n)+n), so a(n)+2 .. a(n)+n are all composite and (part of) a prime gap of at least n.  (Compare n!+2 .. n!+n). - Stephen E. Witham, Oct 09 2021

			LCM of {1,2,3,4,5,6} = 60. The primes up to 6 are 2, 3 and 5. floor(log(6)/log(2)) = 2 so the exponent of 2 is 2.
floor(log(6)/log(3)) = 1 so the exponent of 3 is 1.
floor(log(6)/log(5)) = 1 so the exponent of 5 is 1. Therefore, a(6) = 2^2 * 3^1 * 5^1 = 60. - _David A. Corneth_, Jun 02 2017

The prime number theorem implies that lcm(1,2,...,n) = exp(n(1+o(1))) as n -> infinity. In other words, log(lcm(1,2,...,n))/n -> 1 as n -> infinity. - Jonathan Sondow, Jan 17 2005

Number of permutations of n+1 elements with exactly two cycles.
Number of cycles in all permutations of [n]. Example: a(3) = 11 because the permutations (1)(2)(3), (1)(23), (12)(3), (13)(2), (132), (123) have 11 cycles altogether. - Emeric Deutsch, Aug 12 2004
Row sums of A094310: In the symmetric group S_n, each permutation factors into k independent cycles; a(n) = sum k over S_n. - Harley Flanders (harley(AT)umich.edu), Jun 28 2004
The sum of the top levels of the last column over all deco polyominoes of height n. A deco polyomino is a directed column-convex polyomino in which the height, measured along the diagonal, is attained only in the last column. Example: a(2)=3 because the deco polyominoes of height 2 are the vertical and horizontal dominoes, the levels of their last columns being 2 and 1, respectively. - Emeric Deutsch, Aug 12 2006
a(n) is divisible by n for all composite n >= 6. a(2*n) is divisible by 2*n + 1. - Leroy Quet, May 20 2007
For n >= 2 the determinant of the n-1 X n-1 matrix M(i,j) = i + 2 for i = j and 1 otherwise (i,j = 1..n-1). E.g., for n = 3 the determinant of [(3, 1), (1, 4)]. See 53rd Putnam Examination, 1992, Problem B5. - Franz Vrabec, Jan 13 2008, Mar 26 2008
The numerator of the fraction when we sum (without simplification) the terms in the harmonic sequence. (1 + 1/2 = 2/2 + 1/2 = 3/2; 3/2 + 1/3 = 9/6 + 2/6 = 11/6; 11/6 + 1/4 = 44/24 + 6/24 = 50/24;...). The denominator of this fraction is n!*A000142. - Eric Desbiaux, Jan 07 2009

a(n) is the number of permutations of [n+1] containing exactly 2 cycles. Example: a(2) = 3 because the permutations (1)(23), (12)(3), (13)(2) are the only permutations of [3] with exactly 2 cycles. - Tom Woodward (twoodward(AT)macalester.edu), Nov 12 2009
It appears that, with the exception of n= 4, a(n) mod n = 0 if n is composite and = n-1 if n is prime. - Gary Detlefs, Sep 11 2010
a(n) is a multiple of A025527(n). - Charles R Greathouse IV, Oct 16 2012
Numerator of harmonic number H(n) = Sum_{i=1..n} 1/i when not reduced. See A001008 (Wolstenholme numbers) for the reduced numerators. - Rahul Jha, Feb 18 2015
The Stirling transform of this sequence is A222058(n) (Harmonic-geometric numbers). - Anton Zakharov, Aug 07 2016
a(n) is the (n-1)-st elementary symmetric function of the first n numbers. - Anton Zakharov, Nov 02 2016

A proper divisor d of n is a divisor of n such that 1 <= d < n.

Previous name was: a(n) = q(n)/q(n-1), where q(n) = n!/A003418(n).

			8!/lcm(8) = 48 = 40320/840 while 7!/lcm(7) = 5040/420 = 12 so a(8) = 48/12 = 4.
a(5) = 1 = lcm(1,2,3,4,5)/lcm(1,5,10,10,5,1).

a(n) = exp(-Sum_{d in P} moebius(d)*log(n/d)) where P = {d : d divides n and d is prime}. This is a variant of the (exponential of the) von Mangoldt function where the divisors are restricted to prime divisors. The (exponential of the) summatory function is A205957. Apart from n=1 the value is 1 if and only if n is prime; the fixed points are the products of two distinct primes (A006881).
