Comments

Previous name was: Values of lcm[1,...,m], m = prime, whose squarefree kernels give A002110.

a(n) can be used like A006939(n) for certain kinds of rounding. E.g., the Babylonian a(3) = 60 = 2*2*3*5 divides A006939(3) = 360 = 2*2*2*3*3*5. - Frank Ellermann, Dec 18 2001

a(342) has 1000 decimal digits. - Michael De Vlieger, Mar 05 2017

Examples

			a(5) = lcm(1,2,...,10,11) = 27720, prime(5) = 11. Not all possible lcm(1,..,n) values of A003418 occur, e.g., 12, 840, 25520, etc. are not present. Their squarefree kernels gives exactly A002110.
