A301461 Number of integers less than or equal to n whose largest prime factor is 3. 1

%N Number of integers less than or equal to n whose largest prime factor is 3.

%C a(n) increases when n has the form 2^a*3^b, with a >= 0 and b > 0.

%C A distinct sequence can be generated for each prime number; this sequence is for the prime number 3. For an example using another prime number see A301506.

%F From _David A. Corneth_, Mar 27 2018 (Start)

%F a(n) - a(n - 1) = 1 if and only if n is in 3 * A003586. If n isn't in that sequence then a(n) = a(n - 1).

%F a(3 * n + b) = A071521(n), n > 0, 0 <= b < 3. (End)

%e a(12) = a(2^2 * 3^1); 3 is the largest prime factor, so a(12) exceeds the previous term by 1. For a(13), 13 is a prime, so there is no increase from the previous term.
