%N a(n) is the first number k such that Omega(k) = n and Omega(n - 1) = Omega(n + 1) = n + 1.
%C a(n) is the first k such that k - 1, k and k + 1 have n + 1, n and n + 1 prime factors respectively, counted with multiplicity.
%C From _David A. Corneth_, Jan 19 2024: (Start)
%C a(9) <= 4613781249. This value is exact if 27000 divides lcm(a(9)-1, a(9), a(9)+1). Same goes for a(10) <= 104168181249.
%C a(11) <= 858245781249 if 810000 divides lcm(a(11)-1, a(11), a(11)+1). a(12) <= 46055847109375 if 24300000 divides lcm(a(12)-1, a(12), a(12)+1). (End)
%e a(3) = 343 because 343 = 7^3 has 3 prime factors while 342 = 2 * 3^2 * 19 and 344 = 2^3 * 43 each have 4, and 343 is the least number that works.
