COMMENTS
a(n) is identical to A079148[n] up to a(14)=227. Most a(n) except 2,3,239,443,647,659,827,1223,1259,1499,1787... belong to A005385[n]: Safe primes p: (p-1)/2 is also prime.
Except for 2 and 3, the same as A092307. - T. D. Noe, Sep 25 2006
EXAMPLE
A090801[n] begins {1, 2, 6, 30, 42, 66, 138, 282, 330, 354, 498, 510, 642, 690, ...} = {1, {2,1}, {2,3}, {2,3,5}, {2,3,7}, {2,3,11}, {2,3,23}, {2,3,47}, {2,3,5,11}, {2,3,59}, {2,3,83}, {2,3,5,17}, {2,3,107}, {2,3,5,23}, ...}.
a(1) = 2, a(2) = 3, a(3) = 5, a(4) = 7, a(5) = 11, a(6) = 23, a(7) = 47, a(8) = 59, a(9) = 83, a(10) = 107.
