COMMENTS

Equivalently, largest value of the LCM of the partitions of n into primes.

EXAMPLE

A permutation of length 10 can have prime cycle lengths of 2+3+5; so when repeatedly applied to itself, can produce at most 2*3*5 different permutations.

MATHEMATICA

temp=Series[Times @@ (1/(1-q[ # ] x^#)& /@ Prepend[Prime /@ Range[24], 1]), {x, 0, Prime[24]}]; Table[Max[List @@ Expand[Coefficient[temp, x^n]]/. q[a_]^_ ->q[a] /.q->Identity], {n, 64}]
