A339578 Numbers k such that k^3 can be obtained by taking a number m that is the product of exactly three primes (cf. A014612) and deleting the central digit if m has an odd number of digits, or by deleting the central pair of digits if m has an even number of digits. 2

COMMENTS
This is a kind of inverse to A217297.
From David A. Corneth, Dec 20 2020: (Start)
If a(n) > 100 then gcd(a(n), 10) = 1. Proof: Suppose gcd(a(n), 10)) > 1 then a(n) is divisible by 2 or 5. As the last three digits of m (as defined in name) will have the last three digits such that m is divisible by 2^3 = 8 or 5^3 = 125 we have a number that is a product of strictly more than three primes. Contradiction.
Furthermore, a(n)^3 has an even number of digits as after deletion of the middle digits there always is an even number of digits left. (End)

EXAMPLE
3 is a term because 3^3 = 27 can be obtained by deleting the central digit of 3*3*23 = 207.
4 is a term because 4^3 = 64 can be obtained by deleting the central pair of digits of 2*31*97 = 6014.
20 is not a term because 20^3 = 8000, and any candidate for m will end in 00, and therefore will have at least four prime factors.
