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”).

COMMENTS
This sequence can be seen as an infinite complete binary tree where each node (except the root node) is a multiple or a divisor of its parent.
Will every integer appear in the sequence?
If we have a multiple of a prime number p, then the sequence contains p, and a multiple of q for any prime number q < p.
