A081454 Triangle read by rows in which the n-th row contains n distinct numbers such that their product is a square, which is minimal over all choices for n distinct numbers. 4
1, 1, 4, 1, 2, 8, 1, 2, 3, 6, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 14, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 14, 15, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 14, 15, 16, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 (list; table; graph; refs; listen; history; internal format)

1,3

COMMENTS

In case there is more than one solution, choose the one where the maximal number is minimal.

EXAMPLE

Triangle begins:

1,

1,4,

1,2,8,

1,2,3,6,

1,2,3,4,6,

1,2,3,4,6,9,

1,2,3,5,6,8,10,

1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,

1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,

The 7th row could also be 1 2 3 4 5 8 15 but this has a larger last term.
