FORMULA
From Robert Israel, Mar 19 2018: (Start)
If n = p^k for prime p, then a(n) = p^ceiling(k/2).
In particular, a(n) = n if and only if n is prime.
If n = p*q for primes p < q, then a(n) = q. (End)
EXAMPLE
a(20) = 5: the divisors of 20 are 1,2,4,5,10 and 20; a(20) = 20/lcm(1,2,4) = 20/4 = 5.
MAPLE
f:= proc(n) n/ilcm(op(select(t -> t^2 <= n, numtheory:-divisors(n)))) end proc:
map(f, [$1..100]); # Robert Israel, Mar 19 2018
