For example, n*prime(f)# is practical where k = prime(f)# = A002110(f) is a primorial number and f is the prime index of the largest prime number in the factorization of n. All primorials are primitive practical numbers. The sequence above gives least k. %e A362784 a(5)=6 since 6*5=30 is practical and 6 is primitive practical. Also 4*5=20 is practical but 4 is not primitive practical. %t A362784 PracticalQ[n_] := Module[{f, p, e, prod=1, ok=True}, If[n<1||(n>1&&OddQ[n]), False, If[n==1, True, f=FactorInteger[n]; {p, e}=Transpose[f]; Do[If[p[[i]]>1+DivisorSigma[1, prod], ok=False; Break[]]; prod=prod*p[[i]]^e[[i]], {i, Length[p]}]; ok]]]; %t A362784 DivFreeQ[n_] := Module[{plst=First/@Select[FactorInteger[n], #[[2]]>1 &], m, ok=False}, Do[If[!PracticalQ[n/plst[[m]]], ok = True, ok = False; Break[]], {m, 1, Length@plst}]; ok]; %t A362784 PPracticalQ[n_] := PracticalQ[n]&&(SquareFreeQ[n]||DivFreeQ[n]); %t A362784 lst = {}; Do[m=0; While[!PPracticalQ[m]||(!PracticalQ[m*n]&&m<10000), m++]; AppendTo[lst, m], {n, 1, 500}]; lst %Y A362784 Cf.
