%N Numbers k such that k, k+1 and k+2 have the same maximal exponent in their prime factorization.

%C Numbers k such that A051903(k) = A051903(k+1) = A051903(k+2).

%C The asymptotic density of this sequence is d(2,3) + Sum_{k>=2} (d(k+1,3) - d(k,3) + 3*d2(k,2,1) - 3*d2(k,1,2)) = 0.13122214221443994377..., where d(k,m) = Product_{p prime} (1 - m/p^k) and d2(k,m1,m2) = Product_{p prime} (1 - m1/p^k - m2/p^(k+1)).
