The nonprimes k in this sequence share the property sopfr(k) = rad(k) with the primes.
From Felix Huber and David A. Corneth, Aug 13 2025: (Start)
Terms have at least three distinct prime factors.
Proof: If a term had exactly 0 distinct prime factors then it is 1 but 1 is not a term.
If a term had exactly one distinct prime divisor then it is of the form p^m where p is prime. If m = 1 then it is excluded as it is prime. If m > 1 then sopfr(p^m) = m*p > p = rad(p^m) contradicting equality between sopfr(p^m) and rad(p^m).
If a term had exactly two distinct prime factors, p and q, then there would have to be positive integers x and y satisfying p*q = x*p + y*q, or equivalently, p*(q - x) = y*q. Since q divides neither p nor q - x, this is impossible; therefore, no term with exactly two distinct prime factors exists.
Terms with three and more distinct prime factors do exist completing the proof. (End)

EXAMPLE
18750 = 2*3*5^5 is a term because 2 + 3 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 2*3*5 = 30.
1285956 = 2^2*3^8*7^2 is a term because 2 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 7 + 7 = 2*3*7 = 42.
18537438215625 = 3*5^5*7^11 is a term because 3 + 5*5 + 11*7 = 3*5*7 = 105.
