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.

A340516 is a lower bound.

A340516 Let p_i (i=1..m) denote the primes <= n, and let e_i be the maximum number such that p_i^e_i <= n; then a(n) = Product_{i=1..m} p_i^(2*e_i-1).

Examples

			a(2) = 1 since there is one group of order 2 and therefore 2 is the least order such that all groups of order 2 are embedded, and 2/2 = 1.
a(4) = 2 since there are two groups of order 4 and both groups are embedded in a group of order 8, and 8/4 = 2.
a(12) = 12 since there are five groups of order 12 and 144 is the least order for which there is a group into which all five groups are embedded, and 144/12 = 12.

Formula

a(n) = A340514(n)/n.
a(p) = 1 for prime p.
a(p^2) = p.
a(p^3) = p^3 for p an odd prime.
If p < q are distinct primes, a(pq) = p if p divides (q-1), else a(pq) = 1.
