%C A290203 It is conjectured that for all integers m there exist two primes p and r such that all the binomial coefficients (m,k) with 1 <= k <= m-1 are divisible by either p or r. Using Lucas's Theorem we can prove that the conjecture is true for integers m such that the difference between m and the largest prime smaller than m is smaller than the greatest prime power divisor of m. Therefore this list examines the numbers m that do not satisfy this property.
%C A290203 Also numbers m such that m - A007917(m) > A034699(m). - _David A. Corneth_, Jul 24 2017

%e A290203 The first number of the sequence is 126. The prime factorization of 126 is 2*3^2*7. Therefore, the greatest prime power divisor is 9. The largest prime smaller than 126 is 113, and then the difference between 126 and 113 is 13. Then 13 is larger than 9 and therefore 126 is part of the sequence.
