The prime numbers are excluded from this sequence since tau_p(p) = p for all primes p.
The corresponding values of k are 3, 3, 5, 4, 4, 4, 5, 6, 4, 13, 4, 4, 10, 13, 37, 11, 22, 7, 13, 61, 73, 17, 37, 13, 46, 157, 58, 61, 193, 29, 9, 73, 277, 82, 37, 9, 313, ...
EXAMPLE
18 is in the sequence since tau_3(18) = A007425(18) = 18.
