A329542 a(n) is the first occurrence of a composite number whose factorization without exponents contains exactly n circular loops (i.e., loops in digits 0, 6, 8, 9) on each side of the equals sign.

Examples
a(1) = 76 because 76 = 2*2*19, and there is exactly one loop on each side of the equals sign. a(2) = 166 because 166 = 2*83, and there are exactly two loops on each side of the equals sign, etc. Note that '8' contains two loops.
