In the table below, we note a cycle that exists for n >= 24 and at least through n = 2^14. Let e = floor(n/12). We write multiple k if the condition is false, or the parity of divisor d if d does not occur in a. We can express a(n) as the product of the smallest four primes as shown below.
n (mod 12) k or d 2 3 5 7
-------------------------------------------
0 ODD 3^(e-1) 5 7
1 6 2 3^e 5 7
2 ODD 3^e
3 2 2 3^e
4 5 2 3^e 5
5 ODD 3^e 5
6 4 2^2 3^e 5
7 EVEN 2^2 3^e
8 7 2^2 3^e 7
9 ODD 3^e 7
10 2 2 3^e 7
11 10 2^2 3^e 5 7
Conjectures:
1. All terms are divisible only by some combination of the smallest 4 primes; A113553 is finite at four terms.
2. For n > 24 such that n (mod 12) = 2, a(n) = 3^((n - 2)/12). (End)

EXAMPLE

After 4 the next term is 20 and not 8 as 8 and 4 have the same prime divisors.
After a(27) = 18 = 2 * 3^2, the next term a(28) is neither 2*18 = 2^2 * 3^2, nor 3*18 = 2 * 3^3 nor 4*18 = 2^3 * 3^2 as none of them have any prime factors that would not occur already in 18. But 5*18 = 90 has such a factor, and 90 has not occurred before, thus a(28) = 90. - Antti Karttunen, May 18 2018

EXTENSIONS

Sequence's terms changed back to the original author's intended meaning, differing from those computed by Wilson and Johnston from n = 28 onward, with a(28) = 90 instead of a(28) = 72. The latter version was recreated with the new A-number A304752, to which also the old Maple and Mathematica programs were transferred. - Antti Karttunen, May 18 2018
