Table of n, a(n) for n=1..17.

Eric Weisstein's World of Mathematics, Octagonal Numbers.

Example

a(9) = 4897368840 = 2^3*3*5*7*13*17*23*31*37. 4897368840 is the smallest octagonal number with 9 distinct prime factors.

Mathematica

f[n_] := PrimeNu@ n; nn = 10; k = 1; t = Table[0, {nn}]; While[Times@@t == 0, oct = k(3k-2); a = f@ oct; If[ a <= nn && t[[a]] == 0, t[[a]] = k; Print[{a, oct}]]; k++]; t (* Robert G. Wilson v, Aug 23 2012 *)
