Or a(n-1)= decimal encoding of the prime factorization of a(n). Cf. A068633 Let n = p^a*q^b... then a(n) = concatenation paqb..., A067599 Decimal encoding of the prime factorization of n.
The next term (a(8)) has 330 digits and a(9) has 3882 digits. - Harvey P. Dale, Oct 24 2025
EXAMPLE
a(4)=16, a(5)=2^1 * 3^6 = 1458;
a(6)= 2^1 * 3^4 * 5^5 * 7^8 = 2918430506250.
