%N A318646 The least Chernick's "universal form" Carmichael number with n prime factors.
%C A318646 Chernick proved that U(k, m) = (6m + 1)*(12m + 1)*Product_{i = 1..k-2} (9*(2^i)m + 1), for k >= 3 and m >= 1 is a Carmichael number, if all the factors are primes and, for k >= 4, 2^(k-4) divides m. He called U(k, m) "universal forms". This sequence gives a(k) = U(k, m) with the least value of m. The least values of m for k = 3, 4, ... are 1, 1, 380, 380, 780320, 950560, 950560, 3208386195840, 31023586121600, ...
