A037019 Let n = p_1*p_2*...*p_k be the prime factorization of n, with the primes sorted in descending order. Then a(n) = 2^(p_1 - 1)*3^(p_2 - 1)*...*A000040(k)^(p_k - 1). 19

%N Let n = p_1*p_2*...*p_k be the prime factorization of n, with the primes sorted in descending order. Then a(n) = 2^(p_1 - 1)*3^(p_2 - 1)*...*A000040(k)^(p_k - 1).

%C This is an easy way to produce a number with exactly n divisors and it usually produces the smallest such number (A005179(n)). The references call n "ordinary" if A005179(n) = a(n) and "exceptional" or "extraordinary" otherwise. - _David Wasserman_, Jun 12 2002
