Rule:
For each number in the sequence, there are two factors such that one of them is also a factor of the previous number and the other factor is 1 more or 1 less than the other factor of the previous number.
For example, in sequence 2:
1 = 1 * 1
2 = 1 * 2 (one factor is shared by the previous number, the other factor is different from the other factor of the previous number by 1)
4 = 2 * 2 (2 = 2 and the other 2 is 1 more than 1)
5 = 1 * 5 (compare to 1 * 4 = 4, the previous number)
10 = 2 * 5 (notice 5 is shared by the previous one as a factor and 2 is 1 more than 1)
12 = 2 * 6. It is also equal to 3 * 4
16 = 4 * 4 (compare to 3 * 4). It is also equal to 8 * 2
24 = 8 * 3
27 = 9 * 3
But 1 followed by 6 or 7 is not allowed. So 1 * 7 both of which share a lowest factor of 1 are not allowed.
