This is 2 larger than the 6th (25) and 5 smaller than the 8th (32). So a(7)=2. %t A075772 pp = {-2, 1}; Do[ If[ !PrimeQ[n] && Apply[GCD, Last[ Transpose[ FactorInteger[n]]]] > 1, pp = Append[pp, n]], {n, 2, 10^4}]; Table[ Min[pp[[n + 1]] - pp[[n]], pp[[n + 2]] - pp[[n + 1]]], {n, 1, 75}] %Y A075772 Cf.
