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”).

A375710
Numbers k such that A013929(k+1) - A013929(k) = 2. In other words, the k-th nonsquarefree number is 2 less than the next nonsquarefree number.

COMMENTS
The difference of consecutive nonsquarefree numbers is at least 1 and at most 4, so there are four disjoint sequences of this type:
- A375709 (difference 1)
- A375710 (difference 2)
- A375711 (difference 3)
- A375712 (difference 4)
FORMULA
Complement of A375709 U A375711 U A375712.
EXAMPLE
The initial nonsquarefree numbers are 4, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 20, 24, 25, which first increase by 2 after the fifth and sixth terms.
