COMMENTS

Except for the numbers 2, 9 and 10 this sequence is conjectured to be the same as A001013.

Every r! is a member for r>2, for (r!)! = (r!)*(r!-1)!. - Amarnath Murthy (amarnath_murthy(AT)yahoo.com), Sep 11 2002

By Murthy's trick, if n>2 is a product of factorials then n is a member. So half of the above conjecture is true: A001013 is a subsequence except for the number 2. - Jonathan Sondow (jsondow(AT)alumni.princeton.edu), Nov 08 2004

EXAMPLE

1! = 0! (or, 1! is the empty product), 4! = 2!*2!*3!, 6! = 3!*5!, 8! = (2!)^3*7!, 9! = 2!*3!*3!*7!, 10! = 6!*7!, etc.
