Also called sphenic numbers. Moebius function of n is -1. Note the distinctions between this and "n has exactly three prime factors" or "n has exactly three distinct prime factors." The word "sphenic" also means "shaped like a wedge" [American Heritage Dictionary] as in dentation with "sphenic molars." - Jonathan Vos Post (jvospost3(AT)gmail.com), Sep 11 2005

Also the volume of a sphenic brick. A sphenic brick is a rectangular parallelopiped whose sides are components of a sphenic number, namely whose sides are three distinct primes. Example: The distinct prime triple (3,5,7) produces a 3x5x7 unit brick which has volume 105 cubic units. 3-D analogue of 2-D A037074 Product of twin primes, per Cino Hilliard's comment. Compare with 3-D A107768 Golden 3-almost primes = Volumes of bricks (rectangular parallelopipeds) each of whose faces has golden semiprime area. - Jonathan Vos Post (jvospost3(AT)gmail.com), Jan 08 2007

Or the numbers n such that 13 = number of perfect partitions of n. - Juri-Stepan Gerasimov (2stepan(AT)rambler.ru), Oct 07 2009
