A118501 A variation on Flavius's sieves (A099204, A099243): Start with the Chen numbers; at the k-th sieving step, remove every p-th term of the sequence remaining after the (k-1)-st sieving step, where p is the k-th prime; iterate. 0

EXAMPLE
Start with
2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29 31 37 41 47 53 59 67 71 83 89 101 107 109 113 127 131 ... and delete every second term, giving
2 5 11 17 23 31 41 53 67 83 101 109 127 ... and delete every 3rd term, giving
2 5 17 23 41 53 83 101 127 ... and delete every 5th term, giving
2 5 17 23 53 83 101 127
.... Continue forever and what's left is the sequence.
