Prime factors of $2^{2^2}+3^{3^3}+5^{5^5}+7^{7^7}$

$begingroup$


Are there any useful restrictions to the prime factors of the number



$$2^{2^2}+3^{3^3}+5^{5^5}+7^{7^7}?$$



The two smallest are $6771419$ and $72153167$, which I found by trial division. The number is small enough for ECM, but this is quite slow for numbers
of this magnitude.



Is there anything better than trial division or ECM ?

    'The number is small enough for ECM' - this number is roughly 700K decimal digits; AFAIK that's still well out of reach of even the best general-purpose factoring methods...

    Interestingly enough, the sum of the first two addends is prime. Yet I entirely fail to see how that helps you in any way. :)
