    Economical Number

    Definition

    A number n is called an economical number if the number of digits in the prime factorization of n (including powers) uses fewer digits than the number of digits in n. The first few economical numbers are 125, 128, 243, 256, 343, 512, 625, 729, ... (OEIS A046759). Pinch shows that, under a plausible hypothesis related to the twin prime conjecture, there are arbitrarily long sequences of consecutive economical numbers, and exhibits such a sequence of length nine starting at 1034429177995381247.
