%N Largest of the most frequently occurring numbers in 1-to-n multiplication cube.
%H Branden Aldridge, <a href="/A057339/b057339.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..500</a>
%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, each occurring 15 times. The largest of these numbers is 24, so a(7) = 24.
