Table of n, a(n) for n=0..20.

Eric Weisstein's World of Mathematics, Almost Prime.

Example

a(2) = 17 since 7^2 is the 17th 2-almost-prime: {4,6,9,10,14,15,21,22,25,26,33,34,35,38,39,46,49,...}.

Mathematica

l = Table[0, {30}]; e = 0; Do[f = Plus @@ Last /@ FactorInteger[n]; l[[f+1]]++; If[n == 7^e, Print[l[[f+1]]]; e++ ], {n, 1, 7^10}] (* Ryan Propper, Aug 08 2005 *)
AlmostPrimePi[k_Integer /; k > 1, n_] := Module[{a, i}, a[0] = 1; Sum[PrimePi[n/Times @@ Prime[Array[a, k - 1]]] - a[k - 1] + 1, Evaluate[Sequence @@ Table[{a[i], a[i - 1], PrimePi[(n/Times @@ Prime[Array[a, i - 1]])^(1/(k - i + 1))]}, {i, k - 1}]]]]; (* Eric W. Weisstein, Feb 07 2006 *)
