FORMULA

The prime number theorem implies that a(n) = e^(n(1+o(1))) as n -> infinity. In other words, ln(a(n))/n -> 1 as n -> infinity. - Jonathan Sondow (jsondow(AT)alumni.princeton.edu), Jan 17 2005

a(n) = A003418(2n)/A003418(n) = A099996(n)/A003418(n).

EXAMPLE

LCM of {1,2,3,4,5,6} is 60 and LCM of {1,2,3} is 6, so a(3) = 60/6 = 10.

MAPLE

a:=n->lcm(seq(j, j=n+1..2*n))/lcm(seq(j, j=1..n)): seq(a(n), n=1..32); (Deutsch)

MATHEMATICA

f[n_] := LCM @@ Table[i, {i, 2n}]/LCM @@ Table[i, {i, n}]; Table[ f[n], {n, 27}] (from Robert G. Wilson v Jan 22 2005)
