Comments

m and m+1 squarefree implies that m*(m+1) is a squarefree oblong number and that m*(m+1)/2 is a squarefree triangular number. - Daniel Forgues, Aug 18 2012

Formula

A008966(a(n))*A008966(a(n)+1) = 1. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Dec 03 2009

a(n) ~ k*n, where k = 1/A065474. This result is originally due to Carlitz; for the (current) best error term, see Reuss. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Aug 10 2011, expanded Sep 18 2019
