COMMENTS
a(n) is the greedy inverse of A336041: the smallest number with exactly n divisors d such that d / tau(d) is also an integer.
Numbers 1 and 2 are only numbers m such that d / tau(d) is an integer for all divisors d of m.
FORMULA
a(n) = min{ k: A336041(k)=n}. - R. J. Mathar, Nov 24 2020
EXAMPLE
a(3) = 8 because 8 with divisors 1, 2, 4 and 8 is the smallest number with 3 refactorable divisors: 1 / tau(1) = 1, 2 / tau(2) = 1, 8 / tau(8) = 2.
