A066522 Numbers n whose divisors less than or equal to sqrt(n) are consecutive, from 1 up to some number k. 4

COMMENTS
The sequence consists of all numbers of the form p or 2p with p prime, along with 1, 8, 12, 18, 24 and 60. Sketch of proof: If k<=2 then n=1 or 8 or p or 2p. If k>2, then one of the numbers k+1, ..., k+4 is == 2 (mod 4); call it m. Then m/2 is an odd number <= k, so m = 2 * (m/2) divides n. Since m is not among 1,2,...,k, it must be greater than sqrt(n), so sqrt(n) < m <= k+4. Also, n is divisible by all positive integers <= k, including k, k-1 and k-2, whose least common multiple is their product divided by 1 or 2. So n >= k(k-1)(k-2)/2. Combining these inequalities implies k<=7 and n<=120.
Changing the definition to use "less than sqrt(n)" doesn't change the sequence. - Stewart Gordon, Sep 27 2011
