COMMENTS
The paper by Masser and Shiu lists 150 terms of this sequence less than 10^6. For odd prime p, they show that p# and p*p# are in this sequence, where p# denotes the primorial (A002110). - T. D. Noe, Jun 14 2006
Conjecture: Except for 2 and 18, all terms are Zumkeller numbers (A083207). Verified for the first 1800 terms. - Ivan N. Ianakiev, Sep 04 2022

EXAMPLE
This sequence contains 60 because of all the numbers whose totient is <=16, 60 is the largest such number. [From Graeme McRae, Feb 12 2009]
From Michael De Vlieger, Jun 25 2017: (Start)
Positions of primorials A002110(k) in a(n):
