Consider the set P of pairs (a,b) generated by the rules: (1,1) is in P; if (a,b) is in P then (b,a+b) is in P; if (a,b) and (a',b') are in P then (aa', bb') is in P. Sequence gives numbers not appearing in P.

COMMENTS
Sequence has 508 known terms, the largest of which is 55487. Conjecturally it is finite. If it is and 55487 is the largest term, then the function the number of groups of order n takes on all positive integers as values.

EXAMPLE
The pairs with b <= 7 are (1,1), (1,2), (1,4), (2,3), (2,6), (3,5), and (4,5). Since none of these has b = 7, 7 can never appear in P. - Charlie Neder, Feb 01 2019
