Sometimes misnamed squareful numbers, but officially those are given by A001694.
This is different from the sequence of numbers k such that A007913(k) < phi(k). The two sequences differ at the values: 420, 660, 780, 840, 1320, 1560, 4620, 5460, 7140, ..., which is essentially A070237. - Ant King, Dec 16 2005
Numbers k such that Sum_{d|k} (d/phi(d))*mu(k/d) = 0. - Benoit Cloitre, Apr 28 2002
Numbers k for which there exists a partition into two parts p and q such that p + q = k and p*q is a multiple of k. - Amarnath Murthy, May 30 2003
Numbers k such that there is a solution 0 < x < k to x^2 == 0 (mod k). - Franz Vrabec, Aug 13 2005
Numbers k such that moebius(k) = 0.
a(n) = k such that phi(k)/k = phi(m)/m for some m < k. - Artur Jasinski, Nov 05 2008
Appears to be numbers such that when a column with index equal to a(n) in A051731 is deleted, there is no impact on the result in the first column of A054525. - Mats Granvik, Feb 06 2009
Numbers k such that the number of prime divisors of (k+1) is less than the number of nonprime divisors of (k+1). - Juri-Stepan Gerasimov, Nov 10 2009
Orders for which at least one non-cyclic finite abelian group exists: A000688(a(n)) > 1. This follows from the fact that not all exponents in the prime factorization of a(n) are 1 (moebius(a(n)) = 0). The number of such groups of order a(n) is A192005(n) = A000688(a(n)) - 1. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jul 29 2011
It appears that terms are the numbers m such that Product_{k=1..m} (prime(k) mod m) <> 0. See Maple code. - Gary Detlefs, Dec 07 2011
A008477(a(n)) > 1. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Feb 17 2012
A057918(a(n)) > 0. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Mar 27 2012
A056170(a(n)) > 0. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Dec 29 2012
Numbers k such that A001222(k) > A001221(k), since in this case at least one prime factor of k occurs more than once, which implies that k is divisible by at least one perfect square > 1. - Carlos Eduardo Olivieri, Aug 02 2015
Lexicographically least sequence such that each term has a positive even number of proper divisors not occurring in the sequence, cf. the sieve characterization of A005117. - Glen Whitney, Aug 30 2015
There are arbitrarily long runs of consecutive terms. Record runs start at 4, 8, 48, 242, ... (A045882). - Ivan Neretin, Nov 07 2015
A number k is a term if 0 < min(A000010(k) + A023900(k), A000010(k) - A023900(k)). - Torlach Rush, Feb 22 2018
Every squareful number > 1 is nonsquarefree, but the converse is false and the nonsquarefree numbers that are not squareful (see first comment) are in A332785. - Bernard Schott, Apr 11 2021
Integers m where at least one k < m exists such that m divides k^m. - Richard R. Forberg, Jul 31 2021
Consider the Diophantine equation S(x,y) = (x+y) + (x-y) + (x*y) + (x/y) = z, when x and y are both positive integers with y | x. Then, there is a solution (x,y) iff z is a term of this sequence; in this case, if x = K*y, then z = S(K*y,y) = K*(y+1)^2 (see A351381, link and references Perelman); example: S(12,4) = 75 = a(28). The number of solutions for S(x,y) = a(n) is A353282(n). - Bernard Schott, Mar 29 2022
For each positive integer m, the number of unitary divisors of m = the number of squarefree divisors of m (see A034444); but only for the terms of this sequence does the set of unitary divisors differ from the set of squarefree divisors. Example: the set of unitary divisors of 20 is {1, 4, 5, 20}, while the set of squarefree divisors of 20 is {1, 2, 5, 10}. - Bernard Schott, Oct 15 2022

FORMULA
A008966(a(n)) = 0. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Apr 22 2012
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n)^s = (zeta(s)*(zeta(2*s)-1))/zeta(2*s). - Enrique Pérez Herrero, Jul 07 2012
a(n) ~ n/k, where k = 1 - 1/zeta(2) = 1 - 6/Pi^2 = A229099. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Sep 13 2013

EXAMPLE
For the terms up to 20, we compute the squares of primes up to floor(sqrt(20)) = 4. Those squares are 4 and 9. For every such square s, put the terms s*k^2 for k = 1 to floor(20 / s). This gives after sorting and removing duplicates the list 4, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 20. - David A. Corneth, Oct 25 2017
