COMMENTS
These numbers k have the smallest A010846(k) for a number with n distinct prime factors.
a(7) <= 44024279725172939536207 = 677 * 1721 * 2011 * 2069 * 2083 * 2087 * 2089.
a(8) <= 32829974457045619959776094471833047127947.

Tables of terms m in r(a(n)) = row a(n) of A162306, writing instead only exponents i of prime power factors p^i | m for each p | a(n), written in order of the prime base:
For n = 2, i.e., squarefree semiprime k in A138109 (that achieves the lower bound), we have the following ordered exponent combinations in a rank-2 table:
00 10 20
01 11
Thus row 6 of A162306 has the following elements:
1 2 4
3 6
For n = 3, i.e., sphenic k in A383177 (that achieves the lower bound), we have the following ordered exponent combinations in a rank-3 table:
000 100 200 300 001 101 201 002
010 110 210 011 111
020 120
Thus row 1001 of A162306 has the following elements:
1 7 49 343 13 91 637 169
11 77 539 141 1001
121 857
