%e Solutions for n=1,2,... are 1; 2 3; 3 2 4; 4 2 3 5; 5 3 2 4 7

%e Example triangle for a(4):

%e 4 2 3 5

%e 8 6 15

%e 48 90

%e 4320

%e Some solutions for a(6) and a(7) are (7,4,3,2,5,8) and (9,7,4,2,3,5,10), and others can be created by interchanging opposite numbers (e.g., swapping 5 and 7 in the second set). - _Charlie Neder_, Mar 09 2019
