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”).

%N Sphenic numbers sandwiched between two squarefree semiprimes.
%C Sphenic numbers are numbers that are products of three distinct primes.
%C This sequence is different from A362811: sphenic numbers sandwiched between semiprimes, as semiprimes are products of two primes that might not be distinct.
%e 186 = 2*3*31 is a sphenic number sandwiched between 185 = 5*37 and 187 = 11*17, both of which are squarefree semiprimes. Thus, 186 is in this sequence.
%e 290 = 2*5*29 is a sphenic number sandwiched between semiprimes 289 = 17*17 and 291 = 3*97, one of which is not squarefree. Thus, 290 is not in this sequence but in A362811.
