COMMENTS
A137723(n) is the smallest number of the first occurring set of exactly n consecutive numbers with at least one prime gap in their factorization: a(A137723(n)+k)>0 for 0<=k<n and a(A137723(n)-1)=a(A137723(n)+n)=0. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Feb 09 2008

FORMULA
a(n) = A073484(A007947(n)).
a(A000040(n))=0; a(A000961(n))=0; a(A006094(n))=0; a(A002110(n))=0; a(A073485(n))=0.
a(A073486(n))>0; a(A073487(n)) = 1; a(A073488(n))=2; a(A073489(n))=3.
a(n)=0 iff A073483(n) = 1.
a(A097889(n)) = 0. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Nov 20 2004
0 <= a(m*n) <= a(m) + a(n) + 1. A137794(n) = 0^a(n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Feb 11 2008
EXAMPLE
84 = 2*2*3*7 with one gap between 3 and 7, therefore a(84) = 1;
110 = 2*5*11 with two gaps: between 2 and 5 and between 5 and 11, therefore a(110) = 2.
