%N The least k for which A329697(k) = n; Position of first occurrence of n (and also records) in A329697.
%C Note that although most of the terms after 1 are primes, we also have a few composites: a(9) = a(1)*a(8) = 3*1319 = 3957, a(15) = a(1)*a(14) = 3*258527 = 775581, a(22) = a(8)*a(14) = 340997113.
%C a(n) <= 3^n and in particular, a(n+1) <= 3*a(n), n > 0 and more generally a(n + m) <= a(n) * a(m) where m, n >= 0. - _David A. Corneth_, Apr 15 2020
%C The above follows because A329697 is totally additive.
%F For all n >= 0, A329697(a(n)) = n.
