An alternative definition, to assist in searching: Orders of non-cyclic finite simple groups.
This comment is about the three sequences A001034, A060793, A056866: The Feit-Thompson theorem says that a finite group with odd order is solvable, hence all numbers in this sequence are even. - Ahmed Fares (ahmedfares(AT)my-deja.com), May 08 2001 [Corrected by Isaac Saffold, Aug 09 2021]
The primitive elements are A257146. These are also the primitive elements of A056866. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Jan 19 2017
Conjecture: This is a subsequence of A083207 (Zumkeller numbers). Verified for n <= 156. A fast provisional test was used, based on Proposition 17 from Rao/Peng JNT paper (see A083207). For those few cases where the fast test failed (such as 2588772 and 11332452) the comprehensive (but much slower) test by T. D. Noe at A083207 was used for result confirmation. - Ivan N. Ianakiev, Jan 11 2020
From M. Farrokhi D. G., Aug 11 2020: (Start)
The conjecture is not true. The smallest and the only counterexample among the first 457 terms of the sequence is a(175) = 138297600.
On the other hand, the orders of sporadic simple groups are Zumkeller. And with the exception of the smallest two orders 7920 and 95040, the odd part of the other orders are also Zumkeller. (End)
Every term in this sequence is divisible by 4*p*q, where p and q are distinct odd primes. - Isaac Saffold, Oct 24 2021

The first repetition is at 20160 (= 8!/2) and the first proof that there exist two nonisomorphic simple groups of this order was given by the American mathematician Ida May Schottenfels (1869-1942). - David Callan, Nov 21 2006
By the Feit-Thompson theorem, all terms in this sequence are even. - Robin Jones, Dec 25 2023

All such orders are composite numbers (since there is only one group of any prime order).
Orders which are repeated in A109379.
Except for the first number, these are the orders of symplectic groups C_n(q)=Sp_{2n}(q), where n>2 and q is a power of an odd prime number (q=3,5,7,9,11,...). Also these are the orders of orthogonal groups B_n(q). - Dushan Pagon (dushanpag(AT)gmail.com), Jun 27 2010
a(1) = 20160 = 8!/2 is the order of the alternating simple group A_8 that is isomorphic to the Lie group PSL_4(2), but 20160 is also the order of the Lie group PSL_3(4) that is not isomorphic to A_8 (see A137863). - Bernard Schott, May 18 2020

Examples

			From Dushan Pagon (dushanpag(AT)gmail.com), Jun 27 2010: (Start)
a(1)=|A_8|=8!/2=20160,
a(2)=|C_3(3)|=4585351680,
a(3)=|C_3(5)|=228501000000000, and
a(4)=|C_4(3)|=65784756654489600. (End)
