Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
Although most small numbers are in the sequence, it becomes sparser for larger values; e.g., only 504 numbers up to 10000 and only 184 numbers from 10001 to 20000 are in the sequence.
