COMMENTS

In other words, biquadratefree part of n^4-1, or biquadratefree kernel of n^4-1. Fourth power analogue of what A128972 is to cubes and A068310 is to squares. A046100 Biquadratefree numbers. A008835 Largest 4th power dividing n.

FORMULA

a(n) = (n^4 - 1)/A008835(n^4 - 1) = (A000583(n)-1)/A008835((A000583(n)-1)).

EXAMPLE

a(3) = 5 because (3^4 - 1)/16 = 80/16 = (2^4 * 5)/(2^4) = 5.

a(5) = 39 because (5^4 - 1)/16 = 624/16 = (2^4 * 3 * 13)/(2^4) = 39.

a(7) = 150 because (7^4 - 1)/16 = 2400/16 = (2^5 * 3 * 5^2)/(2^4) = 150.

a(9) = 410 because (9^4 - 1)/16 = 6560/16 = (2^5 * 5 * 41)/(2^4) = 410.

a(63) = 61535 because (63^4 - 1)/256 = 15752960/256 = (2^8 * 5 * 31 * 397)/(2^8) = 61535.
