Go

This makes use of the relationship: a[p] = prime[p]^(p-1) if p is prime, mentioned in the blurb for A073916 (and also on the talk page) to calculate the larger terms, some of which require big.Int in Go. It also makes use of another hint on the talk page that all odd terms are square numbers.

The remaining terms (up to the 33rd) are not particularly large and so are calculated by brute force.

The following much faster version (runs in less than 90 seconds on my 1.6GHz Celeron) uses three further optimizations:

  1. Apart from the 2nd and 10th terms, all the even terms are themselves even.

  2. A sieve is used to generate all prime divisors needed. This doesn't take up much time or memory but speeds up the counting of all divisors considerably.

  3. While searching for the nth number with exactly n divisors, where feasible a record is kept of any numbers found to have exactly k divisors (k > n) so that the search for these numbers can start from a higher base.

simple

Certainly not the fastest way to do it, hence the relatively small limit of 24, which takes less than 0.4s,

whereas a limit of 25 would need to invoke factors() 52 million times which would no doubt take a fair while.

constant LIMIT = 24
include mpfr.e
mpz z = mpz_init()

sequence fn = 1&repeat(0,LIMIT-1),
         primes = {2,3}
integer k = 1
printf(1,"The first %d terms in the sequence are:\n",LIMIT)
for i=1 to LIMIT do
    sequence f = factors(i,1)
    if length(f)=2 then     -- i is prime (f is {1,i})
        while length(primes)<i do
            integer p = primes[$]+2
            while prime_factors(p)!={} do p += 2 end while
            primes = append(primes,p)
        end while
        mpz_ui_pow_ui(z,primes[i],i-1)
        printf(1,"%2d : %s\n",{i,mpz_get_str(z)})
    else
        while fn[i]<i do
            k += 1
            integer l = length(factors(k,1))
            if l<=LIMIT and fn[l]<l then
                fn[l] = iff(fn[l]+1<l?fn[l]+1:k)

### more optimization

Programming note:   this REXX version has major optimization, and the logic flow is:
:::*   build a table of prime numbers (this also helps winnow the numbers being tested).
:::*   the generation of the sequence is broken into three parts:
::::::*   odd prime numbers.
::::::*   odd non-prime numbers.
::::::*   even numbers.

This REXX version (unlike the 1st version),   only goes through the numbers once, instead
of looking for numbers that have specific number of divisors.
