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...

For people like me who like W|A... it choked on this.

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