COMMENTS
This sequence is a permutation of the nonprime numbers (A018252).
FORMULA
a(p) < a(n) for any prime number p and n > p.
EXAMPLE
For n = 1:
- we choose a(1) = 1.
For n = 2:
- a(2) must be divisible by a(1) = 1,
- we choose a(2) = 4.
For n = 3:
- a(3) must be divisible by a(1) = 1,
- we choose a(3) = 6.
For n = 4:
- a(4) must be divisible by a(1) = 1 and a(2) = 4,
- we choose a(4) = 8.
