%N Irregular triangle giving on row n all those antiderivatives k of the n-th factorial, for which bigomega(k) > 2.

%C Row n lists in ascending order all numbers k whose arithmetic derivative k' [A003415(k)] is equal to the n-th factorial, n! = A000142(n), and that have more than two prime factors with multiplicity, i.e., A001222(k) > 2. Rows of length zero are simply omitted, i.e., when A377986(n) = 0.

%C Of the initial 32 terms, 16 are odd, and of those 16 odd terms, 11 are squarefree. There are only odd terms on rows 14 and 15, why?

%e Note that although A003415(9) = 6 = 3!, it is not included in this table as 9 is a semiprime, with A001222(9) = 2.

%o (PARI)

%o \\ Use the programs given in A377987 and A376410.

%o \\ the data needs also to be post-processed (sorted) with

%o \\ sols = sort_solutions_vector(readvec("a_terms_for_A377987_unsorted.txt"));

%o \\ using these functions:

%o sort_solutions_vector(v) = vecsort(v,sort_by_A003415_and_magnitude);

%o sort_by_A003415_and_magnitude(x,y) = { my(s = sign(A003415(x)-A003415(y))); if(!s, sign(x-y), s); };
