%N a(n) is the least number k such that the sum of the n-th powers of the proper divisors of k is a prime number.

%C Corresponding primes are 3, 5, 73, 17, 6439469, 1772291, 411162217, 257, ...

%C a(n) = 4 if and only if 2^n + 1 is a Fermat prime (A019434).

%H Iain Fox, <a href="/A290841/b290841.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..1000</a>

%e a(5) = 115 because 1^5 + 5^5 + 23^5 = 6439469 is prime and 115 is the smallest number with this property.
