%N Position of 5^n in joint ranking of {2^i}, {3^j}, {5^k}.
%C The exponents i,j,k range through the set N of positive integers, so that the position sequences (A206812 for 2^n, A206813 for 3^n, A206814 for 5^n) partition N.
%F A205812(n) = n + [n*log(base 3)(2)] + [n*log(base 5)(2)],
%F A205813(n) = n + [n*log(base 2)(3)] + [n*log(base 5)(3)],
%F A205814(n) = n + [n*log(base 2)(5)] + [n*log(base 3)(5)],
%F where []=floor.
%e The joint ranking begins with 2,3,4,5,8,9,16,25,27,32,64,81,125,128,243,256, so that
%e A205812=(1,3,5,7,10,11,14,...)
%e A205813=(2,6,9,12,15,...)
%e A205814=(4,8,13,18,23,...)
