%N Numbers that cannot be written as a difference of 11-smooth numbers.
%C Terms were found by generating in sequential order the 11-smooth numbers up to some limit and collecting the differences. The first 100 candidates k were then proved to be correct by showing that each of the following 15 congruences holds:
%C <2> +- k !== <3, 5, 7, 11> mod 563213996185633,
%C <3> +- k !== <2, 5, 7, 11> mod 194191394486113583,

%e 9007 = A308247(5) cannot be written as the difference of 11-smooth numbers. All smaller numbers can; for example, 1849 = 3^4*5^2 - 2^4*11, 2309 = 2*3^5*5 - 11^2.
%Y Cf. A051038 (11-smooth numbers).
%Y Cf. numbers not the difference of p-smooth numbers for other values of p: A101082 (p=2), A290365 (p=3), A308456 (p=5), A326318 (p=7), A326320 (p=13).
