%N a(n) is the greatest integer k whose arithmetic derivative is equal to the n-th primorial, and 0 if no such k exists.

%C a(n) is the greatest integer k for which A003415(k) = A002110(n), and 0 if no such k exists.

%F For n >= 1, A368703(n) <= a(n) <= A369059(n).

%F For n > 1, A003415(a(n)) = A002110(n).

%F For n > 1, a(n) = p*q, where p, q are primes, p+q = A002110(n) and q >= p and q - p is minimal. - _David A. Corneth_, Jan 17 2024 [This depends on Goldbach's conjecture being valid, at least on primorials, for which there is strong empirical evidence though.] - _Antti Karttunen_, Jan 19 2024

%e a(1) = 0 as there are no number k such that A003415(k) = A002110(1) = 2.

%e a(3) = 221 as A003415(221) = A003415(13*17) = A003415(13)*17 + 13*A003415(17) = 1*17 + 13*1 = 30 which is A002110(3) and no k>221 has arithmetic derivative 30. - _David A. Corneth_, Jan 17 2024
