FORMULA
a(n) = A000793(n) unless n is a term of A007504 (sum of first primes).
EXAMPLE
The 11 partitions (including those with parts =2) of 6 are the following:
[ #] [ partition ] LCM( parts )
[ 1] [ 1 1 1 1 1 1 ] 1
[ 2] [ 1 1 1 1 2 ] 2
[ 3] [ 1 1 1 3 ] 3
[ 4] [ 1 1 2 2 ] 2
[ 5] [ 1 1 4 ] 4
[ 6] [ 1 2 3 ] 6 (max, with a part =2)
[ 7] [ 1 5 ] 5
[ 8] [ 2 2 2 ] 2
[ 9] [ 2 4 ] 4
[10] [ 3 3 ] 3
[11] [ 6 ] 6 (max, without a part =2)
The largest order 6 is obtained twice, the first such partition is forbidden for this sequence, but not the second, so a(6) = A000793(6) = 6.
The 7 partitions (including those with parts =2) of 5 are the following:
[ #] [ partition ] LCM( parts )
[ 1] [ 1 1 1 1 1 ] 1
[ 2] [ 1 1 1 2 ] 2
[ 3] [ 1 1 3 ] 3
[ 4] [ 1 2 2 ] 2
[ 5] [ 1 4 ] 4
[ 6] [ 2 3 ] 6 (max with a part =2)
[ 7] [ 5 ] 5 (max, without a part =2)
The largest order (A000793(5)=6) with a part =2 is obtained with the partition into distinct primes; the largest order without a part =2 is a(5)=5.
