%N a(n) is the smallest number that can be written in exactly n ways as the sum of positive integer powers of its distinct prime factors, or -1 if no such number exists.

%C a(6) > 33000000 if it exists.

%C a(7) = 5195190.

%e a(3) = 270 because the distinct prime factors of 270 are 2, 3, 5, and 270 = 2^1 + 3^5 + 5^2 = 2^6 + 3^4 + 5^3 = 2^8 + 3^2 + 5^1 can be written in exactly 3 ways as the sum of positive integer powers of 2, 3 and 5.
