%N Increasing gaps between prime-powers.
%C List of prime-powers where A057820 increases.
%C The entry K=a(k) is the start of the smallest chain of m=A121492(k) consecutive numbers such that lcm(1,2,...,K) = lcm(1,2,...,K,K+1) = lcm(1,2,...,K,K+1,K+2) = ... = lcm(1,2,...,K,...,K+m-1). See A121493. - _Lekraj Beedassy_, Aug 03 2006
