All terms are of the form 6^u*2^j. Other than the term 48, k = 6^i*2^j is a term if and only if for all i', j' such that F(i',j') < F(i,j) we have 6^i'*2^j' < 6^i*2^j, where F(i,j) = Product_{s=1..i} (p_s)*Product_{t=1..j} (q_t), where p_1 = 7, p_2 = 9, p_s = A002476(s-1) for s >= 3; q_1 = 4, q_2 = 2, q_t = A007528(t-2) for t >= 3. Or equivalently: (a) for any u, v such that u <= i and 6^u < 2^v, Product_{s=i-u+1..i} (p_s) < Product_{t=j+1..j+v} (q_t); (b) for any u, v such that v <= j and 6^u > 2^v, Product_{s=i+1..i+u} (p_s) > Product_{t=j-v+1..j} (q_t). For example, 746496 = 6^6*2^4 is not a term because (q_3)*(q_4) = 5*11 > p_7 = 43.
EXAMPLE
A319100(168) = 48 which is larger than A319100(i) for i < 168, so 48 is a term.
