Comments

All members of the sequence are either a square minus a small square, or a multiple of a smaller member of the sequence. The square root of the small square must be less than half the fourth root of the number.

245021 is the smallest member of this sequence that is neither 1 less than a square nor a multiple of a smaller member of the sequence. It is 4 less than a square.

Examples

			The divisors of 14399 = 119*121 are 1, 7, 11, 17, 77, 119, 121, 187, 847, 1309, 2057, 14399. The minimum difference between divisors is 2, which occurs only between 119 and 121, both of which are composite; so 14399 is in the sequence.
The divisors of 72 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72. The minimum difference is 1, which does occur between two composites - 8, 9 - but it also occurs between pairs not both composite (e.g. 1, 2 or 3, 4), so 72 is not in the sequence.
