%N Consider the first run of composites that contains at least two numbers whose largest prime factor is prime(n), n >= 2. a(n) is the first of these numbers.

%C For the second of these numbers see A137800. Sequences have offset 2 (prime(2) = 3) because prime(1) = 2 is never the largest prime factor for two numbers in a run of composites.

%C Suggested by Puzzle 430, Carlos Rivera's The Prime Puzzles & Problems Connection.

%e The composites between 23 and 29 form the first run containing two numbers with largest prime factor prime(2) = 3, viz. 24 = 2*2*2*3 and 27 = 3*3*3. Hence a(2) = 24.

%e The composites between 2313679 and 2313767 form the first run containing two numbers with largest prime factor prime(17) = 59, viz. 2313685 = 5*11*23*31*59 and 2313744 = 2*2*2*2*3*19*43*59. Hence a(17) = 2313685.
