COMMENTS

a(n) = product of primes p such that p does not divide n but p divides phi(n)*phi(phi(n))*phi(phi(phi(n)))...

EXAMPLE

E.g. phi(21)=12, phi(12)=4, phi(4)=2, phi(2)=1, so the only candidates are 2 and 3. But 3|21, so a(21)=2.

phi(43)=42, phi(42)=12, etc., so the candidates are 2, 3, 7, none of which divide 43, so a(43)=42.
