COMMENTS
Prime powers (p^k, k = nonnegative integer) raised to a power are never mutinous.
FORMULA
m = ceiling[log(p)/(log(c_n) - k log(p))], where p is the largest prime to divide c_n and p^k is the highest power of p to divide c_n.
EXAMPLE
a(1) = 2 because the first non-prime-power is 6; and 6^2 = 36, but not 6^1, is mutinous.
