Numbers of divisors: A174601(n) = A000005(a(n)); squarefree kernels: A174848(n) = A007947(a(n)). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Apr 02 2010
By historical convention, the Tits group is often excluded from the list of sporadic simple groups. It could be inserted as a(7) = 17971200 giving this sequence 27 rather than 26 elements. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Jul 09 2020
