If a positive integer n has at least two distinct prime divisors and can be written as n=p 1 α 1 +⋯+p t α t , where p 1 <⋯<p t are prime divisors of n and α 1 ,⋯,α t are positive integers, then we define such n as weakly prime-additive. Obviously, t≥3. Following Erdős and Hegyvári’s work, Fang and Chen [J. Number Theorey 182(2018), 258-270] obtained the following result: for any positive integer m, there exist infinitely many weakly prime-additive numbers n with m∣n and n=p 1 α 1 +⋯+p 5 α 5 , where p 1 ,⋯,p 5 are distinct prime divisors of n and α 1 ,⋯,α 5 are positive integers. In this paper, we prove the existence of such n with general length t, where t≡3(mod4) and t>3. The main result is summarized as follows: for any positive integers m,t with t≡3(mod4) and t>3, there exist infinitely many weakly prime-additive numbers n with m∣n and n=p 1 α 1 +⋯+p t α t , where p 1 ,⋯,p t are distinct prime divisors of n and α 1 ,⋯,α t are positive integers.
