%H David A. Corneth, <a href="/A057338/b057338.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000</a> (first 250 terms from Reinhard Zumkeller, terms 251..500 from Branden Aldridge).

%e M(n) is the array in which m(x,y,z)=x*y*z for x = 1 to n, y = 1 to n and z = 1 to n. In M(7) the most frequently occurring numbers are 12 and 24. They occur 15 times, so a(7) = 15.
