Comments

If we define a divisor d|n to be superior if d >= n/d, then superior divisors are counted by A038548 and listed by A161908. This sequence lists all numbers with a superior prime divisor, which is unique (A341676) when it exists. For example, 42 is in the sequence because it has a prime divisor 7 which is greater than the quotient 42/7 = 6. - Gus Wiseman, Feb 19 2021
