Example

The sequence necessarily starts with 1.  The next 2 terms are determined as follows:  because a(1) = 1, the number 2 is disallowed, so that a(2) = 3, whence the numbers 6 and 8 are disallowed, and a(3) = 4.  See A325417 for a guide to related sequences.

Mathematica

a = {1}; Do[AppendTo[a, NestWhile[# + 1 &, Last[a] + 1, Apply[Or,
Map[MemberQ[a, #] &, Select[Flatten[{#/2, (#+1)/3}],
IntegerQ]]] &]], {150}]; a          (* A325462 *)
Complement[Range[Last[a]], a]       (* A325463 *)
