Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

A153494
a(n) is smallest number greater than n that, when compared divisors of a(n) with divisors of n, the d-th smallest divisor of a(n) is always <= the d-th smallest divisor of n for all values of d <= the number of divisors of n.
