Comments

Let prime(j)# denote the product of the first j primes, A002110(j); then

a(1) = prime(1)# = 2,

a(2) = 6*prime(4)# = 1260,

a(3) = 2880*prime(8)# = 2.7935...*10^10,

a(4) = 907200*prime(16)# = 2.9564...*10^25,

a(5) >= 259459200*prime(30)# = 8.2015...*10^54,

a(6) >= 3238237626624000*prime(52)# = 3.4403...*10^111,

a(7) >= 248818180782850398720000*prime(91)# = 5.4351...*10^218.

Examples

			27935107200 = 2^7 * 3^3 * 5^2 * 7^1 * 11^1 * 13^1 * 17^1 * 19^1,
so tau(27935107200) = (7+1)*(3+1)*(2+1)*(1+1)*(1+1)*(1+1)*(1+1)*(1+1) = 8*4*3*2*2*2*2*2 = 3072; 3072^3 = 28991029248 > 27935107200, and there is no larger number k such that tau(k)^3 >= k, so a(3) = 27935107200.
