%N Start with n and find the LCM of n and A140635(n), and continue until a number m is reached such that A140635(m) = m.

%C a(n) = n is a subsequence of minimal numbers A007416, i.e., when A140635(n) = n. It appears that p_n > log_2(sigma_0(a(p_n))) for all primes p_n, and that a(p_n) form an increasing subsequence satisfying a(k) < a(p_n) for all k < p_n. - _Hartmut F. W. Hoft_, Mar 14 2023

%H Hartmut F. W. Hoft, <a href="/A306585/b306585.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..135</a>

%e a(5) = 120 because:

%e A140635(5) = 2 and LCM of 5 and 2 is 10,

%e A140635(10) = 6 and LCM of 10 and 6 is 30,

%e A140635(30) = 24 and LCM of 30 and 24 is 120,

%e A140635(120) = 120 so a(5) = 120.
