Comments

Numbers without prime factor of form 6k+1 and without prime factor of form 3k+2 to an odd multiplicity.

The sequence is closed under multiplication. Primitive elements are 3 and square of primes of form 3k+2 (A003627). Sequence A003136 (Loeschian numbers) is the union of {0}, this sequence and A024606 (numbers of form x^2+xy+y^2 with y > x > 0). These 4 sequences are all closed under multiplication.

Example

49 is not in the sequence because 49 = 3^2+3*5+5^2.
