Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
Numbers that are prime powers p^m, m >= 0, or products of multiple powers of distinct primes p^m where at least 1 prime power p^m is such that m > 1.
Let N = A000027. Analogous to the following sequences:
A002808 = N \ {{1} U A000040} = {1} U A024619 U A013929,
A085961 = N \ {{1} U A246547} = {A005117 U A024619} \ {1}.

FORMULA
Complement of A120944, i.e., A000027 \ A120944.
Union of A000961 and A013929.
Union of {1}, A000040, A126706, and A246547.
EXAMPLE
1 is in the sequence because it is the empty product.
Prime p is in the sequence because it is not a composite squarefree number.
Numbers k that have prime power factors p^m | k where at least one prime power factor is such that m > 1 are in the sequence because they are not squarefree composites. Examples include 8, 9, 12, 20, and 36.
