Example

a(1) = 8 because 8=2^3 is the smallest (only) 1-digit number divisible by exactly 3 primes (counted with multiplicity).
a(2) = 12 because 12 = 2^2 * 3 is the smallest of the (21) 2-digit numbers divisible by exactly 3 primes (counted with multiplicity).
a(3) = 102 because 102 = 2 * 3 * 17 is the smallest 3-digit numbers divisible by exactly 3 primes (counted with multiplicity).
