Numbers a(n) such that a(n)/R(m a(n)(a(n)-m)) > a(n-1)/R(g a(n-1)(a(n-1)-g)) 0 < m < a(n) and 0 < g < a(n-1).
This sequence is list of successive records in the abc conjecture.
No more terms up to 10^20.
For smallest values of function rad(m*n*(n-m)) see A147298.
For biggest values of function rad(m*n*(n-m)) see A147299.
For numbers m for which rad(m*n*(n-m)) reaches a minimal value see A147300.
For numbers m for which rad(m*n*(n-m)) reaches a maximal value see A147301.
