COMMENTS
This sequence allows the concatenation to be any permutation of the prime factors provided the digits of each prime factor are retained in their natural order.
So far, only k=187 factors concatenate in ascending order.
Next term if it exists > 1.2 * 10^9.
EXAMPLE
21 = 3*7 is a term since prime(21) = 73.
187 = 11*17 is a term since prime(187) = 1117.
5810 = 2*5*7*83 is a term since prime(5810) = 57283.
17883 = 3*3*1987 is a term since prime(17883) = 198733.
3188109 = 3*53*20051 is a term since prime(3188109) = 53320051.
