A157939 Numbers n divisible by precprime(sqrt(n)) or nextprime(sqrt(n)) but not both, where precprime=A007917, nextprime=A007918. 1

%I #8 Feb 21 2020 20:12:39

%S 8,10,12,18,20,21,24,28,30,40,42,45,55,56,63,66,70,84,88,91,98,99,105,

%N Numbers n divisible by precprime(sqrt(n)) or nextprime(sqrt(n)) but not both, where precprime=A007917, nextprime=A007918.

%C Equal to the union of its disjoint subsequences A157938 and A157940.

%F A157939 = A157938 union A157940 = A157937 /\ A157941 = A157936 /\ A157942, where A /\ B = (A u B) \ (A n B) = (A \ B) u (B \ A) is the symmetric difference; A157937 intersect A157941 = A006094 = (A157936 intersect A157942) \ A001248.

%e For n=1,2,3, precprime(sqrt(n)) is undefined, so these are not considered here. a(1) = 8 is divisible by 2=precprime(sqrt(8)) but not by 3=nextprime(sqrt(8)).

%e a(2) = 10 is divisible by 5=nextprime(sqrt(10)) but not by 3=precprime(sqrt(8)).

%e n=4,6,9,... are excluded since divisible by both precprime(sqrt(n)) and nextprime(sqrt(n)). (Note that precprime=A007917 and nextprime=A007918 are defined using weak inequalities.) n=5,7,11,13 but also 14 are excluded since not divisible by precprime(sqrt(n)) nor by nextprime(sqrt(n)).
