A347982 a(n) is the greatest k, 0 < k < n, such that tau(k) = tau(n), or -1 if no such k exists, where tau is A000005. 1

%N a(n) is the greatest k, 0 < k < n, such that tau(k) = tau(n), or -1 if no such k exists, where tau is A000005.

%C a(n) = -1 if and only if n is a term in A005179.

%e a(1) = -1 because there is no positive number less than 1 having 1 divisor.

%e a(2) = -1 because 2 is the first prime.

%e a(3) = 2 because 2 is the greatest prime less than 3 and all primes have 2 divisors.

%t a[1] = -1; a[n_] := Module[{k = n - 1, d = DivisorSigma[0, n]}, While[k > 0 && DivisorSigma[0, k] != d, k--]; If[k == 0, -1, k]]; Array[a, 100] (* _Amiram Eldar_, Sep 23 2021 *)
