FORMULA
a(n) = A053167(n)/A008835(n) = A056556(n)*A053165(n) = A056554(n)^4.
From Amiram Eldar, Oct 27 2022: (Start)
Multiplicative with a(p^e) = 1 if e is divisible by 4, and a(p^e) = p^4 otherwise.
Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ c * n^5, where c = (zeta(20)/(5*zeta(4))) * Product_{p prime} (1 - 1/p^2 + 1/p^4 - 1/p^7 + 1/p^8) = 0.123026157003... . (End)
EXAMPLE
a(64) = 16 because smallest 4th power divisible by 64 is 256 and largest 4th power which divides 64 is 16 and 256/16 = 16.
