cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

As in A019278, here there are many instances where if x is a term, then A188999(x) is also a term.
Additionally, there exist longer chains of 3 or 4 elements; e.g.,
- 8 (3), 15 (4), 24 (5), 60 (6);
- 9 (2), 10 (3), 18 (4), 30 (5);
- 512 (3), 1023 (4), 1536 (5), 4092 (6);
- 8925 (4), 14976 (5), 35700 (6);
- 219969739395000 (16), 899826278400000 (17), 3519515830320000 (18).

Examples

			For m=2, A188999(2) = 3 and A188999(3) = 4, so 2 is a term with k=2.
For m=9, A188999(9) = 10 and A188999(10) = 18, so 9 is a term with k=2.

A318272 a(n) is the least k such that A049417(A049417(k)) = n*k, where A049417 is the infinitary sigma function, or 0 if no such k exists.

It is also known that a(12) = 71400.
Then for higher indices n, we have:
a(11) <= 414230544000;
a(13) <= 2667897127526400;
a(14) <= 446464417259520;
a(15) <= 23613006957281280;
a(16) <= 22227004800;
a(17) <= 3134896756992000;
a(18) <= 15414516736819200;
a(20) <= 53129265653882880.
a(16) = 8420630400. - Giovanni Resta, Aug 25 2018
