%N Composite numbers equal to the number of divisors of one of their powers.
%C Prime numbers are not considered since every prime p satisfies p = d(p^(p-1)), where d() represents the number of divisors.
%C In general, p^k = d((p^k)^((p^k-1)/k)) for any prime p and for any power k such that (p^k-1)/k is an integer.
