EXAMPLE

a(3)=61 because 61(prime), 62(=2*31), 63(=3*3*7) has exactly 1, 2, 3 prime factors and this is the smallest solution

a(6)=807905281: 807905281 is prime; 807905281+1=2*403952641;

807905281+2=3*15733*17117; 807905281+3=2*2*1871*107951;

807905281+4=5*11*43*211*1619; 807905281+5=2*3*3*3*37*404357;

807905281+6=7*7*7*7*29*41*283; 807905281 is the smallest number m such that m+k is product of k+1 primes for k=0,1,2,3,4,5& 6.
