COMMENTS
Equivalently, the prime factors of n and n+1 are not larger than 17, but not all smaller than 17 (in which case n is in A252493).
This sequence is complete by a theorem of Stormer, cf. A002071 and sequences A085152, A085153, A252494, A252493.
This is row 7 of A145605. It has A145604(7)=40 terms and ends with A002072(7)=336140.

(PARI) for(n=1, 9e6, vecmax(factor(n++)[, 1])<18 && vecmax(factor(n*n--)[, 1])==17 && print1(n", ")) \\ Skips 2 if n+1 is not 17-smooth: Twice as fast as the naïve version.
