The positive integers are partitioned between A332820, this sequence and A332822.

For each prime p, the terms include exactly one of p and p^2. The primes alternate between this sequence and A332822. This sequence has the primes with odd indexes, those in A031368.

The terms are the even numbers in A332822 halved. The terms are also the numbers m such that 5m is in A332822, and so on for alternate primes: 11, 17, 23 etc. Likewise, the terms are the numbers m such that 3m is in A332820, and so on for alternate primes: 7, 13, 19 etc.

The numbers that are half of the even terms of this sequence are in A332820, which consists exactly of those numbers. The numbers that are one third of the terms that are multiples of 3 are in A332822, which consists exactly of those numbers. For larger primes, an alternating pattern applies as described in the previous paragraph.

If we take each odd term of this sequence and replace each prime in its factorization by the next smaller prime, the resulting number is in A332822, which consists entirely of those numbers.

The product of any 2 terms of this sequence is in A332822, the product of any 3 terms is in A332820, and the product of a term of A332820 and a term of this sequence is in this sequence. So if a number k is present, k^2 is in A332822, k^3 is in A332820, and k^4 is in this sequence.

If k is an even number, exactly one of {k/2, k, 2k} is in the sequence (cf. A191257 / A067368 / A213258); and generally if k is a multiple of a prime p, exactly one of {k/p, k, k*p} is in the sequence.
