COMMENTS

For each such prime p = a(n), the smallest superparticular ratio R = m/(m-1) such that R factors into primes less than or equal to p have all of these prime factors strictly less than p.

p = a(n) here equals prime(k) for the values of k that make a(k) = a(k-1) in A002072 and also in A117581.
