A099361 A variation on the sieve of Eratosthenes (A00040): Start with the primes; the first term is 2, which is a(1) and we cross off every second prime starting with 2; the next prime not crossed off is 3, which is a(2) and we cross off every third prime starting with 3; the next prime not crossed off is 7, which is a(3) and we cross off every 7-th prime starting with 7; and so on. +0

COMMENT

In contrast to Flavius's sieve (A000960), primes are not erased when they are crossed off; that is, primes get crossed off multiple times (see A099362).

EXAMPLE

The first few sieving stages are as follows (X or XX indicates a prime that has been crossed off one or more times):

2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29 31 37 41 43 47 53 59 61 67 71 73 79 83 89 97 ...

2 3 X 7 XX 13 XX 19 XX 29 XX 37 XX 43 XX 53 XX 61 XX 71 XX 79 XX 89 XX ...

2 3 X 7 XX 13 XX XX XX 29 XX 37 XX XX XX 53 XX 61 XX XX XX 79 XX 89 XX ...

2 3 X 7 XX 13 XX XX XX 29 XX 37 XX XX XX 53 XX XX XX XX XX 79 XX 89 XX ...

.... Continue for ever and the numbers not crossed off give the sequence.
