EXAMPLE
12 belongs to the sequence because the only squarefree values of binomial(12,m) are 1, 2*3*11, 2*3*11, 1, on which the Mobius function takes the values 1,-1,-1,1, respectively.
8 does not belong to the sequence because the only squarefree value of binomial(8,m) are 1, 2*5*7, 1, on which the Moebius function takes the values 1,-1,1, respectively.
