COMMENTS

List of prime-powers where A057820 increases.

The entry K=a(k) is the start of the smallest chain of m=A121492(k) consecutive numbers such that lcm(1,2,...,K)=lcm(1,2,...,K,K+1)=lcm(1,2,...,K,K+1,K+2)=...=lcm(1,2,...,K,...,K+m-1). See A121493. - Lekraj Beedassy (blekraj(AT)yahoo.com), Aug 03 2006
