Numbers of the form p*q where p and q are primes, not necessarily distinct.
These numbers are sometimes called semiprimes or 2-almost primes.
Numbers n such that Omega(n) = 2 where Omega(n) = A001222(n) is the sum of the exponents in the prime decomposition of n.
Complement of A100959; A064911(a(n)) = 1. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Nov 22 2004
The graph of this sequence appears to be a straight line with slope 4. However, the asymptotic formula shows that the linearity is an illusion and in fact a(n)/n ~ log(n)/log(log(n)) goes to infinity. See also the graph of A066265 = number of semiprimes < 10^n.
For numbers between 33 and 15495, semiprimes are more plentiful than any other k-almost prime. See A125149.
Numbers that are divisible by exactly 2 prime powers (not including 1). - Jason Kimberley, Oct 02 2011
The (disjoint) union of A006881 and A001248. - Jason Kimberley, Nov 11 2015
An equivalent definition of this sequence is a'(n) = smallest composite number which is not divided by any smaller composite number a'(1),...,a'(n-1). - Meir-Simchah Panzer, Jun 22 2016
The above characterization can be simplified to "Composite numbers not divisible by a smaller term." This shows that this is the equivalent of primes computed via Eratosthenes's sieve, but starting with the set of composite numbers (i.e., complement of 1 union primes) instead of all positive integers > 1. It's easy to see that iterating the method (using Eratosthenes's sieve each time on the remaining numbers, complement of the previously computed set) yields numbers with bigomega = k for k = 0, 1, 2, 3, ..., i.e., {1}, A000040, this, A014612, etc. - M. F. Hasler, Apr 24 2019
For all n except n = 2, a(n) is a deficient number. - Amrit Awasthi, Sep 10 2024
It is reasonable to assume that the "comforting numbers" which John T. Williams found in Chapter 3 of Milne's book "The House at Pooh Corner" are these semiprimes. Winnie-the-Pooh wonders whether he has 14 or 15 honey pots and concludes: "It's sort of comforting." To arrange a semiprime number of honey pots in a rectangular way, let's say on a shelf, with the larger divisor parallel to the wall, there is only one solution and this is for a simple mind like Winnie-the-Pooh comforting. - Ruediger Jehn, Dec 12 2024

The term "prime power" is ambiguous. To a mathematician it means any number p^k, p prime, k >= 0, including p^0 = 1.
Any nonzero integer is a product of primes and units, where the units are +1 and -1. This is tied to the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic which proves that the factorizations are unique up to order and units. (So, since 1 = p^0 does not have a well defined prime base p, it is sometimes not regarded as a prime power. See A246655 for the sequence without 1.)
These numbers are (apart from 1) the numbers of elements in finite fields. - Franz Vrabec, Aug 11 2004
Numbers whose divisors form a geometrical progression. The divisors of p^k are 1, p, p^2, p^3, ..., p^k. - Amarnath Murthy, Jan 09 2002
These are also precisely the orders of those finite affine planes that are known to exist as of today. (The order of a finite affine plane is the number of points in an arbitrarily chosen line of that plane. This number is unique for all lines comprise the same number of points.) - Peter C. Heinig (algorithms(AT)gmx.de), Aug 09 2006
Except for first term, the index of the second number divisible by n in A002378, if the index equals n. - Mats Granvik, Nov 18 2007
These are precisely the numbers such that lcm(1,...,m-1) < lcm(1,...,m) (=A003418(m) for m>0; here for m=1, the l.h.s. is taken to be 0). We have a(n+1)=a(n)+1 if a(n) is a Mersenne prime or a(n)+1 is a Fermat prime; the converse is true except for n=7 (from Catalan's conjecture) and n=1, since 2^1-1 and 2^0+1 are not considered as Mersenne resp. Fermat prime. - M. F. Hasler, Jan 18 2007, Apr 18 2010
The sequence is A000015 without repetitions, or more formally, A000961=Union[A000015]. - Zak Seidov, Feb 06 2008

Peter Luschny and Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Sep 01 2014

The elements are called prime powers in contrast to the powers of primes which are the numbers of the same form but with k >= 0, cf. A000961.
Every nonzero integer is the product of elements of this sequence which are relatively prime and an element of {-1, 1}. This product is up to a rearrangement of the factors unique. (This statement is the fundamental theorem of arithmetic.)
These numbers are the numbers such that the von Mangoldt function is nonzero.
These numbers are the numbers of elements in finite fields. - Franz Vrabec, Aug 11 2004
A positive integer n is a prime power if and only if nZ is a primary ideal of Z. - John Cremona, Sep 02 2014
Also, numbers n divisible by their cototients A051953(n). - Ivan Neretin, May 29 2016
Numbers n such that (theta_3(q) - theta_3(q^n)) / 2 is the g.f. of a multiplicative sequence. - Michael Somos, Oct 17 2016
Numbers that are evenly divisible by exactly one prime number. - Lee A. Newberg, May 07 2018
Ram proved that these are precisely the numbers n such that the binomial coefficients n!/(m!(n-m)!) for m = 1..n-1 have a common factor greater than 1 (which is the unique prime dividing n). See Joris, Oestreicher & Steinig for a generalization. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Apr 24 2019
Blagojević & Ziegler prove that for these n and for any convex polygon in the plane, the polygon can be partitioned into n polygons with equal area and equal perimeter. The result is conjectured (by Nandakumar & Rao, who proved the case n = 2) to hold for all n. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Apr 24 2019
Numbers n such that A367064(n) < 0. - Chai Wah Wu, Nov 06 2023
This sequence represents all positive high amplitude peaks of the inverse Riemann spectrum R(x)= Sum_{k=1..oo} -cos(log(x)*Im(z_k)) going over the imaginary part of the nontrivial zeros "Im(z_k)" in the Riemann zeta function. - Marc Morgenegg, Jul 29 2025

There are four different sequences which may legitimately be called "prime powers": A000961 (p^k, k >= 0), A246655 (p^k, k >= 1), A246547 (p^k, k >= 2), A025475 (p^k, k=0 and k >= 2). When you refer to "prime powers", be sure to specify which of these you mean. Also A001597 is the sequence of nontrivial powers n^k, n >= 1, k >= 2. - N. J. A. Sloane, Mar 24 2018

Let Pn(n) = A002110 denote the primorial function. The average number of distinct prime factors <= prime(n) in the natural numbers up to Pn(n) is equal to Sum_{i = 1..n} 1/prime(i). - Jamie Morken, Sep 17 2018
Conjecture: All terms are squarefree numbers. - Nicolas Bělohoubek, Apr 13 2022
The above conjecture would imply that for n > 0, gcd(a(n), A369651(n)) = 1. See corollary 2 on the page 4 of Ufnarovski-Åhlander paper. - Antti Karttunen, Jan 31 2024
Apart from the initial 0, a subsequence of A048103. Proof: For all primes p, when i >= A000720(p), neither p itself nor p^p divides a(i) [implied by Henry Bottomley's Sep 27 2006 formula], but neither does p^p divide a(i) when 0 < i < A000720(p), as then p^p > a(i). See A074107, which gives an upper bound for this sequence. - Antti Karttunen, Nov 19 2024

Labos Elemer, Jul 27 2000

The zeros of this sequences are the powerful numbers (A001694). There are no arbitrarily long subsequences with a given upper bound; for example, every sequence of 4 values includes one divisible by 2 but not 4, so there are no more than 3 consecutive zeros. Similarly, there can be no more than 23 consecutive values with none divisible by both 2 and 3 but neither 4 nor 9 (so a(n) >= 2), etc. In general, this gives an upper bound that is a (relatively) small multiple of the k-th primorial number (prime(k)#). One suspects that the actual upper bounds for such subsequences are quite a bit lower; e.g., Erdős conjectured that there are no three consecutive powerful numbers. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Aug 08 2006
In particular, for every A048670(k)*A002110(k) consecutive terms, at least one is greater than or equal to k. - Charlie Neder, Jan 03 2019
Following Catalan's conjecture (which became Mihăilescu's theorem in 2002), the first case of two consecutive zeros in this sequence is for a(8) and a(9), because 8 = 2^3 and 9 = 3^2, and there are no other consecutive zeros for consecutive powers. However, there are other pairs of consecutive zeros at powerful numbers (A001694, A060355). The next example is a(288) = a(289) = 0, because 288 = 2^5 * 3^2 and 289 = 17^2, then also a(675) and a(676). - Bernard Schott, Jan 06 2019
a(2k-1) is the number of primes p such that p || x + y and p^2 || x^(2k-1) + y^(2k-1) for some positive integers x and y. For any positive integers x, y and k > 1, there is no prime p such that p || x + y and p^2 || x^(2k) + y^(2k). - Jinyuan Wang, Apr 08 2020

			9 = 3^2 so a(9) = 0; 10 = 2 * 5 so a(10) = 2; 11 = 11^1 so a(11) = 1.
