COMMENT

P(2) = 5 is the only prime pentagonal number, all other factor as P(k) = (k/2)*(3*k-1) or k*((3*k-1)/2) and thus have at least 2 prime factors. P(k) is semiprime iff [k prime and (3*k-1)/2 prime] or [k/2 prime and 3*k-1 prime].

FORMULA

{a(n)} = {k such that A001222(A000326(k)) = 3}. {a(n)} = {k such that k*(3*k-1)/2 has exactly 3 prime factors}. {a(n)} = {k such that A000326(k) is an element of A014612}.

EXAMPLE

a(1) = 3 because P(3) = PentagonalNumber(3) = 3*(3*3 -1)/2 = 12 = 2^2 * 3 is a 3-almost prime.

a(2) = 7 because P(7) = 7*(3*7 -1)/2 = 70 = 2 * 5 * 7 is a 3-almost prime.
