%N Let S(k) be the subsequence of multiples of k from k*positive integers where each element of S(k) sets a new record of divisors in that sequence. Then f(k) is the first element from S(k)/k that is not a power of 2. Sequence lists records for f(k).
%C Conjecture: Subsequence of A147516.
%e For k=1, the sequence of multiples of 1 that set records for numbers of divisors (divided by 1) starts 1,2,4,6. (A002182)
%e For k=3, the sequence starts 1,2,4,8,12. (A351623)
%e For k=9, the sequence starts 1,2,4,8,16,20.
%e For k=45, the sequence starts 1,2,4,8,16,24.
