%N Refactorable numbers (A033950) having more divisors than all smaller refactorable numbers.

%C The corresponding numbers of divisors are 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 20, 24, ... .

%C This sequence if infinite since there are refactorable numbers with arbitrarily large number of divisors. E.g., for any prime p, p^(p-1) is a refactorable number with p divisors.
