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.

Except for a(1), all the terms are composite.

Examples

			We see that 14^2 = 196, the divisors of which are 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 49, 98, 196, and there are nine of them. And we see that 15^2 = 225, the divisors of which are 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 25, 45, 75, 225, and there are nine of them. Both 14^2 and 15^2 have the same number of divisors, hence 14 is in the sequence.
And we see that 16^2 = 256, the divisors of which are the powers of 2 from 2^0 to 2^8, that's nine divisors. Both 15^2 and 16^2 have the same number of divisors, hence 15 is also in the sequence.
But 16 is not in the sequence, since 17 is prime and 17^2 consequently only has three divisors.
