%N Let a(n) be the least k such that in the prime power factorization of k! the exponents of primes p_1, ...,p_n are even, while the exponent of p_(n+1) is odd.

%C The sequence is connected with a 1980-Erdős-Graham conjecture that, for every N, there exists an n such that in prime power factorization of n! at least N first exponents are even. In 1997, this conjecture was proved by D. Berend. A generalization was given by Y.-G. Chen (2003).
