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”).

A prime index of n is a number m such that prime(m) divides n.

FORMULA
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = 2 * Product_{p in A006450} (1 + 1/p) converges since the sum of the reciprocals of A006450 converges. - Amiram Eldar, Feb 02 2021
EXAMPLE
9 is not in the sequence because the prime indices of 9 = prime(2)*prime(2) are {2,2} which are prime numbers but not distinct.
15 is in the sequence because the prime indices of 15 = prime(2)*prime(3) are {2,3} which are distinct prime numbers.
21 is not in the sequence because the prime indices of 21 = prime(2)*prime(4) are {2,4} which are distinct but not all prime numbers.
24 is in the sequence because the prime indices of 24 = prime(1)*prime(1)*prime(1)*prime(2) are {1,1,1,2} which without the 1s are distinct prime numbers.
