%N Table read by antidiagonals: T(n, k) = least recursive multiple of n and k; n > 0 and k > 0.

%C We say that m is a recursive multiple of d iff d is a recursive divisor of m (as described in A282446).

%C More informally, the prime tower factorization of T(n, k) is the union of the prime tower factorizations of n and k (the prime tower factorization of a number is defined in A182318).

%C This sequence has connections with the classical LCM (A003990).

%C For any i > 0, j > 0 and k > 0:

%C - A007947(T(i, j)) = A007947(lcm(i, j)),

%C - T(i, j) >= 1,

%C - T(i, j) >= max(i, j),

%C - T(i, j) >= lcm(i, j),

%C - T(i, 1) = i,

%C - T(i, i) = i,

%C - T(i, j) = T(j, i) (the sequence is commutative),

%C - T(i, T(j, k)) = T(T(i, j), k) (the sequence is associative),

%C - T(i, i*j) >= i*j,

%C - if gcd(i, j) = 1 then T(i, j) = i*j.

%C See also A287957 for the GCD equivalent.
