The zeros in A139315 are the missing values in this sequence (see A337709).
There are no 1's in this sequence. a(n) = 2 for all odd n and a(n) >= 3 for all even n. - J. Lowell, Sep 15 2020

EXAMPLE
|
a(1) = 2 because 1 has 1 divisor, 1*2 has 2 divisors, so 2 is the least multiplier to apply to 1 to get twice as many divisors.
