f[n_] := Module[{p = FactorInteger[n][[;; , 1]]}, Total[1 - Most[p]/Rest[p]]]; seq[lim_] := Module[{fi, fmax = -1, s = {}}, Do[fi = f[i]; If[fi > fmax, fmax = fi; AppendTo[s, i]], {i, 1, lim}]; s]; seq[3000]

Prog

(PARI) f(n) = {my(p = factor(n)[, 1]); sum(i = 1, #p-1, 1 - p[i]/p[i+1]); }
list(lim) = {my(fm = -1, f1); for(k = 1, lim, f1 = f(k); if(f1 > fm, print1(k, ", "); fm = f1)); }
