%C First differs from A059404 at n = 55: A059404(55) = 180 = 2^2 * 3^2 * 5 is not a term of this sequence.

%C First differs from A360248 at n = 23: a(23) = 90 = 2 * 3^2 * 5 is not a term of A360248.

%C First differs from A332785 at n = 17: a(17) = 72 = 2^3 * 3^2 is not a term of A332785.

%C Numbers whose unordered prime signature (i.e., sorted, see A118914) ends with two different integers: {..., k, m} for some 1 <= k < m.

%C All the factorial numbers above 6 are terms.

%C The asymptotic density of this sequence is Sum_{k >= 1, p prime} (d(k+1, p) - d(k, p))/((p-1)*p^k) = 0.3660366524547281232052..., where d(k, p) = 0 for k = 1, and (1-1/p)/((1-1/p^k)*zeta(k)) for k > 1, is the density of terms that have in their prime factorization a prime p with the largest exponent that is > k.
