%N Numbers k such that there is no prime p and index j < k such that A002182(k) = p * A002182(j).

%C Indices k such that the k-th highly composite number cannot be obtained by multiplying any smaller highly composite number by a prime.

%C This is a sequence of counterexamples to the second conjecture by Alaoglu & Erdős that such highly composite numbers do not exist (they did not consider 1 to be highly composite number). Robin found the first 3 counterexamples: A002182(815) = 3.622... * 10^65, A002182(4372) = 6.043... * 10^220, and A002182(4996) = 1.115 * 10^244. - _Amiram Eldar_, Jul 09 2019
