It seems that the maximum first difference is 18.
If k is a term, p is a prime coprime to k and p is not equal to k-1 or k+1, then k*p is a term.
945 is the first odd term.
Except for 6, all perfect numbers (A000396) are terms.

EXAMPLE
Let D be the set of the divisors of 24, i.e. {1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24}. D = {1,2,3,24} union {4,6,8,12}. So 24 is a Zumkeller number, but it is not of the form n*(n+1). Therefore, 24 is a term.
