%N a(n) = Product_{j=1..n} Product_{k=1..n} gcd(j,k).

%C Conjecture: Let p be a prime and let ordp(n,p) denote the exponent of the highest power of p that divides n. For example, ordp(48,2)=4, since 48=3*(2^4). Then we conjecture that the prime factorization of a(n) is given by the formula: ordp(a(n),p) = (floor(n/p))^2 + (floor(n/p^2))^2 + (floor(n/p^3))^2 + .... Compare this to the de Polignac-Legendre formula for the prime factorization of n!: ordp(n!,p) = floor(n/p) + floor(n/p^2) + floor(n/p^3) + .... This suggests that a(n) can be considered as generalization of n!. See A129453 for the analog for a(n) of Pascal's triangle. See A129454 for the sequence defined as a triple product of gcd(i,j,k). - _Peter Bala_, Apr 16 2007

%C The conjecture is correct. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Apr 02 2013

%C a(n)/a(n-1) = n, n >= 1, if and only if n is noncomposite, otherwise a(n)/a(n-1) = n * f^2, f > 1. - _Daniel Forgues_, Apr 07 2013

%C Conjecture: For a product over a rectangle, f(n,m) = Product_{j=1..n} Product_{k=1..m} gcd(j,k), a factorization similar to the one given above for the square case takes place: ordp(f(n,m),p) = floor(n/p)*floor(m/p) + floor(n/p^2)*floor(m/p^2) + .... By way of directly computing the values of f(n,m), it can be verified that the conjecture holds at least for all 1 <= m <= n <= 200. - _Andrey Kaydalov_, Mar 11 2019

%F Also a(n) = Product_{k=1..n} Product_{j=1..n} lcm(1..floor(min(n/k, n/j))).

%F From _Daniel Forgues_, Apr 08 2013: (Start)

%F Recurrence: a(0) := 1; for n > 0: a(n) := n * (Product_{j=1..n-1} gcd(n,j))^2 * a(n-1) = n * A051190(n)^2 * a(n-1).

%F Formula for n >= 0: a(n) = n! * (Product_{j=1..n} Product_{k=1..j-1} gcd(j,k))^2. (End)

%F a(n) = n! * A224479(n)^2 (the last formula above).

%F a(n) = n$ * A224497(n)^4, n$ the swinging factorial A056040(n). - _Peter Luschny_, Apr 10 2013
