Comments

a(n) < A360736(n) when n > 10 is a multiple of 4 or of 25, since, for these indices, A007942(n) is divisible by 2^2 or 5^2; but this inequality holds also, for other indices: for n = 6 (see example) and n = 39 where A007942(39) = 29 * 617^2 * 10185403128074353 * ...

Formula

a(n) = A001221(A007942(n)).

Example

a(4) = 2 since 4321234 = 2 * 2160617;
a(6) = 3 since 65432123456 = 2^6 * 7 * 146053847.
