COMMENTS
Primitive solutions means gcd(a,b,c,d,e) = 1.
These are all terms from James Waldby link, which gives all solutions to k^5 = a^5 + b^5 + c^5 + d^5 + e^5 where k < 10000, gcd(a,b,c,d,e) = 1 and at least two of a,b,c,d,e are nonzero.
Note that if nonprimitive solutions were allowed (where at least two of a,b,c,d,e are nonzero), then 144 would be a term because 144^5 = 0^5 + 27^5 + 84^5 + 110^5 + 133^5 = 38^5 + 86^5 + 92^5 + 94^5 + 134^5.
