EXAMPLE
89999127392 = 4^5 + 36^5 + 39^5 + 40^5 + 90^5 + 153^5
= 8^5 + 21^5 + 90^5 + 109^5 + 119^5 + 135^5
= 8^5 + 28^5 + 98^5 + 102^5 + 104^5 + 142^5
= 10^5 + 38^5 + 74^5 + 102^5 + 118^5 + 140^5
= 13^5 + 51^5 + 64^5 + 98^5 + 112^5 + 144^5
= 18^5 + 44^5 + 66^5 + 98^5 + 112^5 + 144^5
= 18^5 + 52^5 + 72^5 + 78^5 + 118^5 + 144^5
= 28^5 + 60^5 + 63^5 + 65^5 + 124^5 + 142^5
= 36^5 + 53^5 + 62^5 + 63^5 + 129^5 + 139^5
= 39^5 + 41^5 + 64^5 + 91^5 + 98^5 + 149^5
so 89999127392 is a term.
