%N a(n) = largest k such that A005117(n+1) = A005117(n) + (A005117(n) mod k), or 0 if no such k exists.

%C From the definition, a(n) = A005117(n) - A076259(n) if A005117(n) - A076259(n) > A076259(n), 0 otherwise where A005117 are the squarefree numbers and A076259 are the gaps between squarefree numbers.

%e For n = 1 we have A005117(1) = 1, A005117(2) = 2; there is no k such that 2 - 1 = 1 = (1 mod k), hence a(1) = 0.

%e For n = 4 we have A005117(4) = 5, A005117(5) = 6; 4 is the largest k such that 6 - 5 = 1 = (5 mod k), hence a(4) = 2; a(3) = 5 - 1 = 4.

%e For n = 23 we have A005117(23) = 35, A005117(24) = 37; 33 is the largest k such that 37 - 35 = 2 = (35 mod k), hence a(23) = 33; a(24) = 35 - 2 = 33.
