COMMENTS
The least common multiple of all numbers of least prime signature (A025487) <= c equals the least common multiple of all primorial powers (A100778) <= c, where c is an arbitrary positive real number.
The terms of this sequence are themselves numbers of least prime signature. Write a(n) in its prime factorization, Product_{i=1..k} A000040(i)^e_i. Then e_i is approximately proportional to 1/log_2(A002110(i)).
More precisely, the least common multiple of all numbers of least prime signature (A025487) <= c has prime factorization Product_{i>=1} A000040(i)^e_i, where e_i = floor(log(c)/log(A002110(i))).

FORMULA
a(1) = 1, a(n) = lcm(a(n-1), A100778(n)) for n >= 2. - David A. Corneth, Apr 18 2021
EXAMPLE
The least common multiple of the numbers of least prime signature up through 36 is equal to the least common multiple of all primorial powers up through 36, including 2^5 = 32, 6^2 = 36, and 30^1 = 30. Thus 2^5 * 3^2 * 5 = 1440 is a term of this sequence.
