COMMENTS

This may be the "smallest" product-based numbering system that has a unique finite representation for every rational number. In this base 1/2 = .1 (1*1/2), 1/3 = .02 (0*1/2 + 2*1/6), 1/5 = .0102 (0*1/2 + 1*1/6 + 0*1/12 + 2*1/60). - Russell Easterly (logiclab(AT)attbi.com), Oct 03 2001

FORMULA

a(n) = A003418(A000961(n)).

Distinct values of A003418, i.e. A051451 = Union[A003418].

Partial products of A025473, prime roots of the prime powers.

EXAMPLE

LCM[1,..,n] is 2520 for n=9 and 10. The smallest such n's are always prime powers, where A003418 jumps.

MATHEMATICA
