%N A187941 Least number with exactly n even divisors.
%C A187941 The only odd term in the sequence is 1, having zero even divisors. All larger odd numbers also have zero even divisors.
%C A187941 Conjecture: a(n) = 2^n only if n is prime or if n = 1.
%C A187941 If the prime factorization of a number is 2^k p1^e1...pr^er, then the number of even divisors is k*(e1+1)...(er+1). Hence, to find the least number having n even divisors, factor n and determine k, e1,..., er such that n = k*(e1+1)...(er+1). Then a(n) will have the form 2^k 3^e1 5^e2.... It is obvious that if n is prime, then a(n) = 2^n. Similarly, if n is twice an odd prime p, then a(n) = 2^p * 3. - _T. D. Noe_, Mar 16 2011
