COMMENTS

a(n) also equals the smallest positive integer such that lcm(a(1), a(2), a(3), ... a(n)) = n!, for every positive integer n. - Leroy Quet, Apr 28 2007

FORMULA

a(n) = Product_{p|n} p^(sum{k >= 1} floor(n/p^k)), where the product runs over the distinct primes p that divide n. - Leroy Quet, Apr 28 2007

a(n) = n*A062763(n). - R. J. Mathar, Mar 11 2017

a(n) = (numerator of B(n, 1/n))/n^(n - 1), where B(.,.) is the Euler beta function. - Arkadiusz Wesolowski, Nov 22 2017

a(p) = p for p prime. - Peter Luschny, Nov 29 2017

EXAMPLE

a(4) = 8 since 4! = 24 and 4^4 = 256 and gcd(24, 256) = 8.

lcm(a(1), a(2), a(3), a(4), a(5), a(6)) = lcm(1, 2, 3, 8, 5, 144) = 6! = 720. (See comment.)
