A303545 For any n > 0 and prime number p, let d_p(n) be the distance from n to the nearest p-smooth number; a(n) = Sum_{i prime} d_i(n).

Examples
For n = 42: - d_2(42) = |42 - 32| = 10, - d_3(42) = |42 - 36| = |42 - 48| = 6, - d_5(42) = |42 - 40| = 2, - d_p(42) = 0 for any prime number p >= 7, - hence a(42) = 10 + 6 + 2 = 18.
