Apr 18, 2013 at 18:29 comment added user31074 Oh dear, I was trying to edit my comment and ended up deleting it. @everyone: Thanks for all the references. @quid: Thank you, that sort of estimate will suffice for my purposes. To those wondering, I'd asked if there were any obvious ways of lower bounding $c_n$.
Apr 18, 2013 at 18:25 comment added user9072 @bn: yes, if I understand you right. You will have n/log n prime numbers and all their products (except for symmetry) will be distinct, yielding already a lower bound of n^2/ (2(log n)^2) for the number of products.
Apr 18, 2013 at 17:53 comment added user9072 @Eric Naslund: so it is a an exact duplicate of an almost duplicate ;-) I knew I saw this somewhere not that long ago (and indeed the first thing I did was to search the site but somehow this did not turn up). Now, that not even the reference is new, I will delete the answer.

Apr 18, 2013 at 17:31 comment added Gerhard Paseman This is well researched by Erdos and others; it is the number of distinct values in the corresponding multplication table. You might start with mathoverflow.net/questions/31663/… . Gerhard "Ask Me About System Design" Paseman, 2013.04.18
