%N a(n) is the smallest n-digit number with exactly 8 divisors, a(n) = 0 if no such number exists.

%C a(n) is the smallest n-digit number of the form p^7, p^3*q or p*q*r (p, q, r = distinct primes), a(n) = 0 if no such number exists.

%C There is a large overlap with A180922 because the candidates p*q*r are also of the 3-almost-primes format required there. - _R. J. Mathar_, Apr 23 2024
