FORMULA
a(n) = lcm(n, A051953(n)).
EXAMPLE
For n=255, phi(n)=128, cototient(255) = 255 - 128 = 127, a(255) = lcm(255,127) = 32385, while A009262(255) = lcm(255,phi(255)) = 128*255 = 32640;
for n=72, phi(72)=24, A051953(72) = 72 - 24 = 48, a(72) = lcm(72,48) = 144, while A009262(72) = lcm(72,24) = 72.
