COMMENTS
Erdős and Selfridge proved that, apart from the first term, these are never perfect powers (A001597). - T. D. Noe, Oct 13 2002
Numbers of the form x!/y! with y+1 < x. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Feb 20 2008

FORMULA
a(n) = A000142(A137911(n))/A000142(A137912(n)-1) for n>1. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Feb 27 2008
Since the oblong numbers (A002378) have relative density of 100%, we have a(n) ~ (n-1) n ~ n^2. - Daniel Forgues, Mar 26 2012
a(n) = n^2 - 2*n^(5/3) + O(n^(4/3)). - Charles R Greathouse IV, Aug 27 2013
EXAMPLE
30 is in the sequence as 30 = 5*6 = 5*(5+1). - David A. Corneth, Oct 19 2021
