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. <lang go>package main

       if isPrime(i) {
           primes[count] = i
           count++
       }
   }
   return primes

}

func countDivisors(n int) int {

   count := 1
   for n%2 == 0 {

       count++
   }
   for d := 3; d*d <= n; d += 2 {
       q, r := n/d, n%d
       if r == 0 {
           dc := 0
           for r == 0 {
               dc += count
               n = q
               q, r = n/d, n%d
           }
           count += dc
       }
   }
   if n != 1 {
       count *= 2
   }
   return count

}

func main() {

   const max = 33
   primes := generateSmallPrimes(max)
   z := new(big.Int)
   p := new(big.Int)
   fmt.Println("The first", max, "terms in the sequence are:")
   for i := 1; i <= max; i++ {
       if isPrime(i) {
           z.SetUint64(uint64(primes[i-1]))
           p.SetUint64(uint64(i - 1))

                   if sq*sq != j {
                       continue

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.

   if is_prime(i) then
       mpz_ui_pow_ui(z,get_prime(i),i-1)

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. <lang rexx>/*REXX program finds and displays the Nth number with exactly N divisors. */ parse arg N . /*obtain optional argument from the CL.*/ if N== | N=="," then N= 15 /*Not specified?
