A066349

A self-generating sequence: let S = {}, a(0) = 333; for n >= 1, factorize a(n-1), arrange prime factors in increasing order and append their digits to S; then a(n) is the 3-digit number formed from terms 3n, 3n+1, 3n+2 of S. Leading zeros are omitted from a(n).

COMMENTS

333 is the unique 3-digit starting value that produces nontrivial sequences. This is one of the two possible continuations if one starts with 333. For the other see A066801.

EXAMPLE

The factorizations of the first few terms are 3*3*37, 3*5*7*7, 5*5*31, 3*3*59, 5*67, 2*2*239, ... Thus S = [3,3,3,7,3,5,7,7,5,...] and grouping these in sets of three we recover the sequence.
