%N Sphenic numbers differing by more than 3 from any other squarefree number.

%C Sphenic numbers are the product of three distinct primes (cf. A007304).

%e 2526 = 2 * 3 * 421 is a sphenic number; 2523 = 3 * 29^2, 2524 = 2^2 * 631, 2525 = 5^2 * 101, 2527 = 7 * 19^2, 2528 = 2^5 * 79, 2529 = 3^2 * 281 are all nonsquarefree numbers, so 2526 is a term.
