COMMENTS
The sorted sequence of (nonzero) exponents in the prime factorization of a number is called its prime signature. Here this is "approximated" by multiplying them by powers of 10. Up to 2^10 this coincides with the concatenation of these exponents written in base 10 (but that sequence would be "base" specific).
For n >= 1024 one should use a modified definition, replacing 10 with 10^floor(1+log_10(log_2(n))), to avoid ambiguity of the representation.
