EXAMPLE
a(1) = 16 because (3*5+1)=(2^4) = 16.
a(2) = 36 because (5*7+1)=((2^2)*(3^2)) = 36.
a(3) = 40 because (3*13+1)=((2^3)*5) = 40.
a(4) = 56 because (5*11+1)=((2^3)*7) = 56.
a(5) = 88 because (3*29+1)=((2^3)*11) = 88.
a(6) = 135 because (2*67+1)=((3^3)*5) = 135.
a(7) = 156 because (5*31+1)=((2^2)*3*13) = 156.
a(8) = 184 because (3*61+1)=((2^3)*23) = 184.
