COMMENTS
Compute the prime factorization of n = product(p_i^r_i). If the tuple (r_1,...) is a palindrome (excluding leading or trailing zeros, but including any possible intermediate zeros), n belongs to the sequence.
42 is the first element of A242414 not in this sequence, as 42 = 2^1 * 3^1 * 5^0 * 7^1, and (1,1,0,1) is not a palindrome, although (1,1,1) is.
EXAMPLE
14 is a member as 14 = 2^1 * 3^0 * 5^0 * 7^1, and (1,0,0,1) is a palindrome.
42 is not a member as 42 = 2^1 * 3^1 * 5^0 * 7^1, and (1,1,0,1) is not a palindrome.
