%e A064413(578) = 620, which is divisible by the primes 2, 5 and 31. So by definition, A064413(579) is the smallest number not already in A064413 that is divisible by 2, 5, or 31. This number is 610, which is divisible by both 2 and 5, so these are both called controlling primes of A064413(579).

%Y Cf. A064413, A064740, A073734.
