%N Highly decomposable Smith numbers. A Smith number which sets a record for the number of prime factors (counting multiplicity) starting from first Smith number is called a highly decomposable Smith number.

%C It is conjectured that except for 27, all highly decomposable Smith numbers are even.

%F Number m = A104168(k) in this sequence iff m = min_{n>=k} A104168(n).

%e a(3) = 378 because the Smith number 378 has 5 prime factors which is > any Smith number < 378.

%Y Subsequence of A104168.
