Differs from A358817 by having the terms 99, 165, 166, ..., which are not in A358817, and not having the terms 1, 440, 1331, 1575, ..., which are in A358817.
Numbers k such that A051903(k) = A051903(k+1).
If k is a term then k*(k+1) is a term of A362605.
The asymptotic density of this sequence is d(2) + Sum_{k>=2} (d(k) + d(k+1) - 2 * d2(k)) = 0.36939178586283962461..., where d(k) = Product_{p prime} (1 - 2/p^k) and d2(k) = Product_{p prime} (1 - 1/p^k - 1/p^(k+1)).
