%N Least number with exactly n divisors less than its square root.

%C This is similar to A038549, which counts divisors of n <= sqrt(n). Note that an upper bound on a(n) is 3*2^(n-1), which is attained at n = 2, 3, 4, 5, 11, 23, and 29 -- the number 4 and the primes in A005384 (Sophie Germain primes, p and 2p+1 are prime).

%C A056924(a(n)) = n and A056924(m) <> n for m < a(n). - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Jul 12 2013

%e The divisors of 60 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, and 60. Only 6 of these are < sqrt(60). And 60 is the first such number.
