A177355
The number of positive integers m for which the exponents of prime(n) and prime(n+1) in the prime power factorization of m! are both powers of 3.

3, 1, 3, 4, 14, 10, 26, 22, 22, 61, 38, 59, 97, 77, 70, 82, 156

FORMULA
All such m belong to interval [q, 2*(-1+q^2*(log(2)/(2*log(q)-1)+1))), where q=p_(n+1).
EXAMPLE
If n=1, then 3<=m<2*(-1+9*(log(2)/(2*log(3)-1)+1))=26.4... In interval [3,26.3) we find only 3 numbers m=3,4,5 with required property. Therefore, a(1)=3.
