%N Orders of the groups PSL(m,q) in increasing order as q runs through the prime powers (without repetitions).

%C 60 is the order of PSL(2,4) or PSL(2,5).

%C 168 is the order of PSL(2,7) or PSL(3,2).

%C 20160 is the order of PSL(4,2) or PSL(3,4).

%C See A334884 and A335000 for variations of this sequence.

%F #PSL(m,q) = (Product_{j=0..m-2} (q^m - q^j)) * q^(m-1) / gcd(m,q-1). - _Bernard Schott_, May 19 2020

%e #PSL(2,7) = (7^2-1)*7/gcd(2,6) = 168 = a(4), and,

%e #PSL(3,2) = (2^3-1)*(2^3-2)*2^2/gcd(3,1) = 168 = a(4).
