For any composite number n with more than a single prime factor, take the polynomial defined by the product of the terms (x-pi)^ei, where pi are the prime factors of n with multiplicities ei. Integrate this polynomial from the minimum to the maximum value of pi. This sequence lists the values of the integrals that are integer.

%e n=55 is the first number for which the integral is an integer. In fact its prime factors are 5 and 11: min(pi)=5, max(pi)=11. Polynomial: (x-5)*(x-11)= x^2-16*x+55. Integral: x^3/3-8*x^2+55*x. The value of the integral from x=5 to x=11 is -36.
