These numbers k are such that there exists at least 1 number j < k such that rad(j) = rad(k) but j does not divide k. This number j is in A366825.
This is to say that k is such that A008479(k) > 2, however, there are prime powers p^m, m > 2 (p^m in A246549) that also have the same property.
The union of this sequence and A246549 comprises the sequence of numbers k such that A008479(k) > 2.
This sequence is {k : 1 < omega(k) < bigomega(k), k/rad(k) != lpf(k)}, where omega = A001221 and bigomega = A001222.
This sequence is the union of sequences {k*m : 1 < omega(k) = bigomega(k), rad(m) | k, m > lpf(k)} (for k in A120944).
Numbers k in this sequence appear after rad(k) and rad(k)*lpf(k) in the list of numbers that have the same squarefree kernel as k. For example, 18 (24, 36, 48, etc.) appears after 6 and 12 in A033845, while 40 (50, 80, 100, etc.) appears after 10 and 20 in A033846.
The ordered prime signature of a(n) (i.e., row a(n) of A124010) is not of the form {2,1,...,1}, i.e., 2 followed by at least one 1.
Superset of A286708 (powerful numbers that are not prime powers).
