Example

a(1) = T(1, 1) = 2  because 1 divides 2^1
a(2) = T(2, 1) = 4  because 2 divides 4^1
a(3) = T(1, 2) = 2  because 1 divides 2^2
a(4) = T(3, 1) = 6  because 3 divides 6^1
a(5) = T(2, 2) = 4  because 2 divides 4^2
a(6) = T(1, 3) = 2  because 1 divides 2^3
a(7) = T(4, 1) = 8  because 4 divides 8^1
a(8) = T(3, 2) = 6  because 3 divides 6^2
a(9) = T(2, 3) = 4  because 2 divides 4^3
a(10) = T(1, 4) = 2 because 1 divides 2^4
