Comments

After the initial 1, even-indexed terms are of the form 4k+2 (members of A016825) and odd-indexed terms are of the form 6k+3 (members of A016945). However, not all even terms after 2 are multiples of three, because not all odd-indexed terms are of the form 4k+3. For example, because a(11) is of the form 4k+1, a(12) cannot be a multiple of three. - Antti Karttunen, Jun 18 2017

Examples

			a(4) = 6, which is 110 in binary. So a(5) is the product of the primes corresponding to the 1's of 110, 3*5 = 15.
