%N Numbers that are the products of 2 or more consecutive integers.

%C Erdős and Selfridge proved that, apart from the first term, these are never perfect powers (A001597). - _T. D. Noe_, Oct 13 2002

%C Numbers of the form x!/y! with y+1 < x. - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Feb 20 2008

%F a(n) = A000142(A137911(n))/A000142(A137912(n)-1) for n>1. - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Feb 27 2008

%F Since the oblong numbers (A002378) have relative density of 100%, we have a(n) ~ (n-1) n ~ n^2. - _Daniel Forgues_, Mar 26 2012

%F a(n) = n^2 - 2*n^(5/3) + O(n^(4/3)). - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Aug 27 2013
