n! is the smallest number with that prime signature. E.g. 720 = 2^4*3^2*5. (Can we name a(n) as the eldest brother of n!?) Subsidiary sequence: Total number of distinct numbers with prime signature that of n! having prime divisors less than or equal to n.
From Reikku Kulon, Sep 18 2008: (Start)
This is n! with prime exponents reversed. Perhaps it should be denoted with an inverted exclamation mark: (inverted-!)n
7! = 5040 = 2^4 * 3^2 * 5^1 * 7^1
(inverted-!)7 = 360150 = 2^1 * 3^1 * 5^2 * 7^4 (End)

EXAMPLE
For n=6, 6!= 720 = 2^4*3^2*5, hence a(6) = 5^4*3^2*2 = 11250.
For n=8, 8! = 40320 = 2^7*3^2*5*7, hence a(8) = 7^7*5^2*3*2 = 123531450.
MATHEMATICA
a[n_] := Module[{f = FactorInteger[n!], p, e}, p = First /@ f; e = Last /@ f; Times @@ (p^Reverse[e])]; Array[a, 15] (* Amiram Eldar, Dec 30 2020 *)
