%N Smallest positive integer that is equal to the sum of the n-th powers of its prime factors (counted with multiplicity).
%C Does a(n) exist for all n?
%C a(12)=65536, a(27)=4294967296. a(n) exists for all n of the form n=p^i-i, where p is prime and i > 0, since p^p^i is an example (see A067688 and A081177). - _Jud McCranie_, Mar 16 2003
%C a(23) <= 298023223876953125. a(24) <= 7625597484987. - _Jud McCranie_, Jan 18 2016
%C a(10) = 285311670611. - _Jud McCranie_, Jan 25 2016
