EXAMPLE
n=11: 11!=256.81.25.7.11; a(11)=iter[concatenate[{2,3,5,7,11}]] =A084318[39916800]; the list of iteration:
{39916800, 235711, 7151223, 34495309, 41841349, 1116722777, 1958774883, 313113444469, 744730492067, 4359293547691}
at each step the ordered prime factors of previous term are concatenated.
