Table of n, a(n) for n=2..78.

Example

The positive integers k, k <= 6, where the positive integers <= k and coprime to k are also coprime to 6, are 1,2,6. So a(6) = the largest of these < 6, which is 2.

Mathematica

f[n_] := Select[Range[n], GCD[ #, n] == 1 &]; g[n_] := Select[Range[n - 1], Times @@ GCD[f[ # ], n] == 1 &]; Max /@ Table[g[n], {n, 2, 80}] (* Ray Chandler, Dec 24 2006 *)
