Comments

Equivalently, numbers k whose exponent of the highest power of 3 dividing k and exponent of the highest power of 4 dividing k have the same parity. The asymptotic density of this sequence is 13/20. - Amiram Eldar, Sep 20 2020

Example

The sequence necessarily starts with 1.  The next 2 terms are determined as follows:  because a(1) = 1, the numbers 3 and 4 are disallowed, so that a(2) = 2, whence the numbers 6 and 8 are disallowed, and a(3) = 5.  See A325417 for a guide to related sequences.

Mathematica

a = {1}; Do[AppendTo[a, NestWhile[# + 1 &, Last[a] + 1, Apply[Or,
Map[MemberQ[a, #] &, Select[Flatten[{#/3, #/4}],
IntegerQ]]] &]], {150}]; a          (* A325431 *)
Complement[Range[Last[a]], a]       (* A325432 *)
