%N a(1)=1; for n>1 a(n) is the smallest highly composite number (A002182) that is a multiple of a(n-1) where the ratios are strictly increasing.
%C Known ratios are 2,3,4,5,6,7,9,11,13,17,19,20,23,28,29,31,37,41,43,47,53.
%e a(2) is 2 because 1*2=2 is highly composite.
%e a(3) is 6 because 2*3=6 is highly composite.
%e a(8) cannot be 5040*8=40320 because 40320 is not a highly composite number.
