%N a(n) is the largest number m such that sigma(m)=10^n, or if there is no such m a(n)=0.
%C Conjecture: For n>3 a(n) is positive.
%C For 4 <= n <= 102, a(n) is the product of two distinct primes, but a(103) = a(49)*a(54) and is the product of four distinct primes: 1862645149230957031249999 * 5368709119999999999999999 * 79999999999999999999999999 * 12499999999999999999999999999. - _David Wasserman_, Nov 18 2008
