Comments

Semiprimes among pentagonal numbers A000326 = { (3*n^2-n)/2; n >= 0 }.

We can have an odd prime n = 2k + 1 and (3n - 1)/2 = 3k + 1 also prime, i.e., k in A130800, or n = 2p with p prime and 3n - 1 = 6p - 1 also prime, i.e., p in A158015. Considering the ratio of the two prime factors, the two possibilities are mutually exclusive, so this is the disjoint union of {A033570(n)=(2n+1)(3n+1); n in A130800} = A255584 and {p*(6p-1); p in A158015}. - M.

Example

n=6: (3*n^2-n)/2 = 51 = 3 * 17 which is semiprime. Hence, 51 appears in the sequence.
n=10: (3*n^2-n)/2 = 145 = 5 * 29 which is semiprime. Hence, 145 appears in the sequence.
