%N A037916 Sum( e[i] 10^(m-i), i=1..m ) where e[1]<=...<=e[m] are the
nonzero exponents in the prime factorization of n: a representation of
the prime signature of n.
%C A139393 The sorted sequence of (nonzero) exponents in the prime
factorization of a number is called its prime signature. Here this is
"approximated" by multiplying them by powers of 10. Up to 2^10 this
coincides with the concatenation of these exponents written in base 10
(but that sequence would be "base" specific). For n>=1024 one should
use a modified definition, replacing 10 by 10^floor(log2(n)/10), to
avoid ambiguity of the representation.
