%N Composite numbers with smallest prime factor >= 7.

%C Let A = set of numbers of form 6n + 1, B = numbers of form 6n - 1. Eliminating numbers of form 25 + 30s from A and those of form 35 + 30s from B we obtain sets A* and B*. Removing all terms of the sequence from the union of A* and B*, only prime numbers remain. - Hisanobu Shinya (ilikemathematics(AT)hotmail.com), Jul 14 2002

%C Divide n by a*b*c where a = 2^(A001511(n)-1), b = 3^(A051064(n)-1) and c = 5^(A055457(n) -1). Then the resulting sequence includes only primes and a(n). - _Alford Arnold_, Sep 08 2003

%C Composite numbers not divisible by 2, 3 or 5. - _Lekraj Beedassy_, Jun 30 2004

%C Composite numbers k such that k^4 mod 30 = 1. - _Gary Detlefs_, Dec 09 2012

%C Composite numbers congruent to 1, 7, 11, 13, -13, -11, -7, -1 (mod 30). Since asymptotically, 100% of integers are composite, we have a(n)/n ~ 30/phi(30) = 30/8 = 3.75. - _Daniel Forgues_, Mar 16 2013

%C "John [Conway] recommends the more refined partition [of the positive numbers]: 1, prime, trivially composite, or nontrivially composite. Here, a composite integer is trivially composite if it is divisible by 2, 3, or 5." See link to (van der Poorten, Thomsen, and Wiebe; 2006) pp. 73-74. - _Daniel Forgues_, Jan 30 2015, Feb 04 2015

%C For the eight congruences coprime to 30, we can use one byte to encode the "primality/non-primality (unit or composite)" for each [30*n, 30*(n+1)[, n >= 0, closed-open interval, either as little endian binary sequence {01111111, 11111011, 11110111, 01111110, ...}, or as big endian binary sequence {11111110, 11011111, 11101111, 01111110, ...}, which we may then express in base 10. - _Daniel Forgues_, Feb 05 2015
