cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

One way to find a run of n consecutive nonsquarefree numbers such that the first n primes appear in order as factors of numbers in the run is to use the Chinese remainder theorem (though this run is most likely not the earliest of length n).
The moduli are then of course the squares of the first n primes, while the remainders are then the first n terms of this sequence. (See A182433.)

Examples

			a(4) = 45 because the 4th prime is 7, and 7^2 - 4 = 49 - 4 = 45.
