Comments

This sequence is not to be confused with A333931.

The corresponding record values are 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 16, 40, 52, 96, ...

Fink (2019) defined this sequence. He asked whether 720 is the largest term that is also highly composite number (A002182).

This is, except the terms 2, the sequence records of indices of A074206 for positive n as a(n) = 2*A074206(n), n>1, i.e. A307866. (formula from - Vladeta Jovovic, Jul 03 2005) - David A. Corneth, Apr 13 2020
