%N Orders of the groups PSL(m,q) in increasing order as q runs through the prime powers (with repetitions).
%C 60 is the order of PSL(2,4) and of PSL(2,5).
%C 168 is the order of PSL(2,7) and of PSL(3,2).
%C 20160 is the order of PSL(4,2) and of PSL(3,4).
%C Other repetitions > 20160 for PSL(m,q) groups are not known.
%C See A334884 and A334994 for variations of this sequence.

%F #PSL(m,q) = (Product_{j=0..m-2} (q^m - q^j)) * q^(m-1) / gcd(m,q-1). - _Bernard Schott_, May 19 2020
%e a(5) = #PSL(2,7) = (7^2-1)*7/gcd(2,6) = 168, and,
%e a(6) = #PSL(3,2) = (2^3-1)*(2^3-2)*2^2/gcd(3,1) = 168.
