%N Numbers k that divide the numerator of B(2k) (the Bernoulli numbers).

%C Equivalently, k is relatively prime to the denominator of B(2k). Equivalently, there are no primes p such that p divides k and p-1 divides 2k. These equivalences follow from the von Staudt-Clausen and Sylvester-Lipschitz theorems.

%C The listed terms are the same as those in A070191, but the sequences are not identical. (The similarity is mostly explained by the absence of multiples of 2, 3 and 55 from both sequences.) See A070192 and A070193 for the differences.
