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
Note that a(57) = 210 = 2*3*5*7, while 330 = 2*3*5*11 is not in the sequence. This demonstrates that this sequence is not determined by prime signature alone. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Oct 17 2015
