Example

10th twin prime pair = (A001359(10), A006512(10)) = (107,109), hence A014574(10) = 108 = 2^2 * 3^2, therefore a(10) = 2.

Maple

p:= 2: count:= 0: Res:= NULL:
while count < 100 do
  q:= nextprime(p);
  if q - p = 2 then
    count:= count+1;
    Res:= Res, min(map(t->t[2], ifactors(p+1)[2]))
  fi;
  p:= q;
