COMMENTS

Smallest odd number a(n) such that product of distinct prime divisors of (2^n)*a(n)*(2^n-a(n)) is the smallest available for a(n)<=2^x-a(n)<2^x.

Product of distinct prime divisors of (2^n)*a(n)*(2^n-a(n)) is called also radical: rad((2^n)*a(n)*(2^n-a(n))

For numbers 2^n-a(n) see A143701

For minimal values of rad((2^n)*a(n)*(2^n-a(n)) see A143702

Related to the abc conjecture. [From M. F. Hasler, Nov 13 2008]
