COMMENT

All terms of this sequence must be primes because Floor[(a(n)^(1/n))^n]=a(n). Floor[(a(8)^(1/8))^k]=Floor[(1287/545)^k] for k=1,...,10 (see puzzle 227). If a(9) exist it must be greater than 22000000.

FORMULA

For[m=1, Union[Table[PrimeQ[Floor[Prime[m]^(k/n)]], {k, n}]]!={True}, m++ ]; Prime[m]

EXAMPLE

a(5)=631 because Floor[631^(1/5)]=3,Floor[631^(2/5)]=13,Floor[631^(3/5)]=47,

Floor[631^(4/5)]=173&Floor[631^(5/5)]=631 are primes and 631 is the smallest

m with this property.

MATHEMATICA

Do[Print[For[m=1, Union[Table[PrimeQ[Floor[Prime[m]^(k/n)]], {k, n}]]!={True}, m++ ]; Prime[m]], {n, 8}]
