%C It seems that a(n) = Max_{j=n+1..2n-1} gcd(n,j). - _Labos Elemer_, May 22 2002

%C This is correct: No integer in the range [n+1, 2n-1] has n as its divisor, but certainly at least one multiple of the largest proper divisor of n will occur there (e.g., if it is n/2, then at n + (n/2)). - _Antti Karttunen_, Dec 18 2014

%C The slopes of the visible lines made by the points in the scatter plot are 1/2, 1/3, 1/5, 1/7, ... (reciprocals of primes). - _Moosa Nasir_, Jun 19 2022

%F a(n) = n - A060681(n).

%F For n > 1, a(n) = A003961^(r)(A246277(n)), where r = A055396(n)-1 and A003961^(r)(n) stands for shifting the prime factorization of n by r positions towards larger primes.

%F a(n) = A250246(A302042(A250245(n))) = A302026(A302032(A302025(n))).
