Call a positive integer balanced if the number of its distinct prime factors is equal to the number of its digits in the decimal representation; for example, the number 385=5711385 = 5 \cdot 7 \cdot 11 is balanced, while 275=5211275 = 5^2 \cdot 11 is not. Prove that there exist only a finite number of balanced numbers.

It is said that a positive integer n>1n > 1 has the property (pp) if in its prime factorization n=p1a1...pjajn = p_1^{a_1} \cdot ... \cdot p_j^{a_j} at least one of the prime factors p1,...,pjp_1, ... , p_j has the exponent equal to 22. a) Find the largest number kk for which there exist kk consecutive positive integers that do not have the property (pp). b) Prove that there is an infinite number of positive integers nn such that n,n+1n, n + 1 and n+2n + 2 have the property (pp).
