COMMENTS
The greatest prime divisor (GPD) of 6n+15=3*(2n+5) is the maximum of 3 and the GPD(2n+5). Because 2n+5 is odd this is GPD(2n+5) and appart from an index shift GPD(2n+1). The GPD of 4n+6=2(2n+3) is GPD(2n+3) because 2n+3 is odd and has a GPD>=3, and apart from an index shift GPD(2n+1). This relates this sequences to A076567. - R. J. Mathar, Jul 10 2026
