Comments

The smallest term is a(5), there is no odd abundant number (A005231) equal to the product of less than 5 consecutive primes.

The corresponding abundant numbers are A285993(n) = prime(k-n+1)*...*prime(k), with prime(k) = a(n).

Examples

			For n < 5, there is no odd abundant number equal to the product of n distinct primes.
For 5 <= n <= 8, the largest odd abundant number equal to the product of n consecutive primes is 3*...*a(n) with a(n) = prime(n+1).
For 9 <= n <= 17, the largest odd abundant number equal to the product of n consecutive primes is 5*...*a(n) with a(n) = prime(n+2).
For 18 <= n <= 30, the largest odd abundant number equal to the product of n consecutive primes is 7*...*a(n) with a(n) = prime(n+3).
For 31 <= n <= 45, the largest odd abundant number equal to the product of n consecutive primes is 11*...*a(n) with a(n) = prime(n+4).
For 46 <= n <= 66, the largest odd abundant number equal to the product of n consecutive primes is 13*...*a(n) with a(n) = prime(n+5).

Programs

PARI

a(r,f=vector(r,i,prime(i+1)),o)={ while(sigma(factorback(f),-1)>2, o=f; f=concat(f[^1],nextprime(f[r]+1)));o[#o]} \\ Intentionally throws an error when n < 5.

Formula

a(n) = A006530(A285993(n)) >= A151800(a(n-1)) = nextprime(a(n-1)), with strict inequality for n = 9, 18, 31, 46, 67, ..., in which case a(n) = nextprime(nextprime(a(n-1))). This is the case if A285993(n) is in A007741.
