COMMENTS

"3-almost prime numbers" are a generalization of primes and semiprimes. As explained in Weisstein: "The primes correspond to the "1-almost prime" numbers 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, ... (A000040). The 2-almost prime numbers correspond to semiprimes 4, 6, 9, 10, 14, 15, 21, 22, ... (A001358). The first few 3-almost primes are 8, 12, 18, 20, 27, 28, 30, 42, 44, 45, 50, 52, 63, 66, 68, 70, 75, 76, 78, 92, 98, 99, ... (A014612). The first few 4-almost primes are 16, 24, 36, 40, 54, 56, 60, 81, 84, 88, 90, 100, ... (A014613). The first few 5-almost primes are 32, 48, 72, 80, ... (A014614)." See A101606 for the Inverse Moebius Transform of this sequence.

FORMULA

a(n) = 1 iff n has exactly three prime factors (not necessarily distinct), else a(n) = 0. a(n) = 1 iff n is an element of A014612, else a(n) = 0.

EXAMPLE

a(28) = 1 because 28 = 2 * 2 * 7 is the product of exactly 3 primes, counted with multiplicity.
