%C A070319 Is this the same as A068509? - _David Scambler_, Sep 10 2012
%C A070319 They are different even asymptotically: A068509(n)=O(sqrt(n)), while a(n) does not have polynomial growth. One example where the sequences differ: a(625) = 24 < A068509(625). (The inequality is implied by the set {1,2,..,25} where each pair of the elements has lcm <= 625.) - _Max Alekseyev_, Sep 11 2012
%C A070319 The two sequences first differ when n = 336, due to the set of 21 elements {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 21, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48} where each pair of elements has lcm <= 336, while no positive integer <= 336 has more than 20 divisors. Therefore A068509(336) = 21 and A070319(336) = 20. - _William Rex Marshall_, Sep 11 2012
%C A070319 Indices of records give A002182. - _Omar E. Pol_, Feb 18 2023
