Comments

The sequences A184920-A184923 partition the positive integers:

A184920: 7,15,24,31,40,48,55,64,...

A184921: 3,8,13,18,23,27,32,37,...

A184922: 2,5,9,12,16,19,22,26,29,...

A184923: 1,4,6,10,11,14,17,20,21,...

Jointly rank the sets {h*r}, {i*s}, {j*t}, {k*u}, where h>=1, i>=1, j>=1, k>=1.

The position of n*s in the joint ranking is n+[r*n/s]+[t*n/s]+[u*n/s], and likewise for the positions of n*r, n*t, and n*u.
