Related to the inequality (54) in Ramanujan's paper about highly composite numbers (HCN) A002182, also used in A199337: This is the square root of the (not minimal) bound a(n)^2 above which all HCN are divisible by n, according to the right part of that inequality.
Like the highly composite numbers A002182, all terms in this sequence are a product of primorials.
