Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%e The two squarefree numbers following a(1)=1309=7*11*17 are 1310=2*5*131 and 1311=3*19*23, all three have 3 prime divisors.
%e The same is true for a(2)=1442, 1443 and the next squarefree number which is 1446.
%e Further examples are provided by the first "sphenic triples" (1309, 1310, 1311), (1885, 1886, 1887) and (2013, 2014, 2015).
