%N Largest exponent in the prime factorization of highly composite numbers (definition 1, A002182).
%C Each highly composite number can be written as the product of primorials (A002110); a(n) is also the number of primorials used in the product.
%C a(i) is the exponent of 2 in the prime factorization of A002182(i), cf. formula. - _David A. Corneth_, Aug 16 2015; edited by _M. F. Hasler_, Jan 03 2020
