%N Let m = n-th squarefree number = A005117(n), and consider the smallest pair of consecutive squarefree numbers (r,s) with gcd(r,s) = m; sequence gives values of r.
%C a(7) is the first unknown value.
%C If m (in the table in Examples) is odd then a(m) >= A020754(m-1). If m is even then a(m) >= A020754(2m-1). - _Jud McCranie_, Sep 30 2020
%C a(12) (for m=17) is greater than 3.3*10^16. - _Jud McCranie_, Oct 16 2020

%e Specifically, 174 is squarefree, 177 is the next squarefree integer, and gcd(174,177) = 3; this is the first pair of consecutive squarefree numbers whose GCD is 3, so a(3)=174. - _Jud McCranie_, Nov 25 2019
