Michael De Vlieger, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..11 (Term 11 has 824 decimal digits.)
EXAMPLE
a(3) = 120 because a(1) is the product of 1 successive numbers starting with 1 = 1, and a(2) is the product of 2 successive numbers (2,3) = 6 and a(3) is the product of 3 successive numbers (4,5,6) = 120. All the products have the property that a(n) = 0 (mod a(n - 1)). Thus a(3) = 120.
