FORMULA
Numbers k such that Hep(k) = k*(5*k-3)/2 is 6-almost prime.
Numbers k such that A000566(k) is a term of A046306.
Numbers k such that A001222(A000566(k)) = 6.
Numbers k such that A001222(k*(5*k-3)/2) = 6.
EXAMPLE
a(1) = 15 because Hep(15) = 15*(5*15-3)/2 = 540 = 2^2 * 3^3 * 5 is 6-almost prime.
a(2) = 24 because Hep(24) = 24*(5*24-3)/2 = 1404 = 2^2 * 3^3 * 13.
a(7) = 55 because Hep(55) = 55*(5*55-3)/2 = 7480 = 2^3 * 5 * 11 * 17 is 6-almost prime [also 7480 = Hep(55) = Hep(Hep(5)) is an iterated heptagonal number].
a(11) = 81 because Hep(81) = 81*(5*81-3)/2 = 16281 = 3^5 * 67 [also 16281 = Hep(81) = Hep(Hep(6)) is an iterated heptagonal number].
a(24) = 156 because Hep(156) = 156*(5*156-3)/2 = 60606 = 2 * 3^2 * 7 * 13 * 37 is 6-almost prime (and a palindrome).
a(30) = 189 because Hep(189) = 189*(5*189-3)/2 = 89019 = 3^4 * 7 * 157 is 6-almost prime [also 89019 = Hep(189) = Hep(Hep(9)) is an iterated heptagonal number].
