A374225 Irregular triangle read by rows: T(n,k), n > 1 and k <= n, is the smallest composite number x whose set of digits and the set of digits in all prime factors of x, when written in base n, contain exactly k digits in common, or -1 if no such number exists.

Table of n, a(n) for n=2..57.

Example

T(2, 1) = 9 = 3^2 -> 1001_2 = 11_2^2, have the digit 1 in common, and no lesser composite has this property.
T(6, 2) = 33 = 3 * 11 -> 53_6 = 3_6 * 15_6, have this 2 digits 3 and 5 in common, and no lesser composite has this property.
T(11, 6) = 174752 = 2^5 * 43 * 127 -> 10A326_11 = 2_11^5 * 3A_11 * 106_11, have the 6 digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 6 and A in common, and no lesser composite has this property.
The array begins:
  n\k:0,  1,  2,   3,    4,     5,    6,
  2: -1,  9,  4;
  3:  4,  8,  6,  15;
  4:  4,  6, 14,  30,  114;
  5:  4, 12, 10,  35,  190,   894;
  6:  4,  8, 33, 188,  377,  2355, 13155;
