You may hardcode all highly composite numbers and then answer every query in log time using binary search)

You can find the 1st 70 prime numbers and then for each 'n', loop through these numbers in the following way-

  1. Start from i=0, ans=1. ans=ans*prime[i] as long as ans<=n. i++.

  2. if ans*prime[i]>n, reset i=0 and repeat step 1 until its no longer possible. Maintain a hash of these primes you are using for frequency.

edit: we can pre calculate product of these primes in an array, and for each test case, we do a few binary searches. Why so many downvotes?
