%N Smallest exclusionary square (A029783) with exactly n distinct prime factors.

%C There is no 5 in the prime factorization of these terms.

%C No other terms less than 10^14. - _Michael S. Branicky_, Feb 02 2023

%C 1.69 * 10^15 < a(10) <= 7722272777722272. - _Daniel Suteu_, Feb 05 2023

%F Assuming a(n) exists, a(n) >= A002110(n+1)/5 >> exp((1 + o(1)) * n * log(n)). (The inequality is presumably strict for all n; for n > 34 it seems that all A002110(n) are pandigital.) - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Feb 05 2023

%e 84 = 2^2 * 3 * 7 is the smallest integer with 3 distinct prime factors that is also an exclusionary square, because 84^2 = 7056, so a(3) = 84.

%e 858 = 2 * 3 * 11 * 13 is the smallest integer with 4 distinct prime factors that is also an exclusionary square, because 858^2 = 736164, so a(4) = 858.
