%N Smallest number that is neither a divisor of nor relatively prime to n, or 0 if no such number exists.

%C Original name: Smallest number of "unrelated set" belonging to n [=URS(n)]. Least number, neither divisor nor relatively prime to n. Or a(n)=0 if unrelated set is empty.

%C From _Michael De Vlieger_, Mar 28 2016 (Start):

%C Primes n have no unrelated numbers m < n since all such numbers are coprime to n.

%C Unrelated numbers m must be composite since primes must either divide or be coprime to n.

%C m = 1 is not counted as unrelated as it divides and is coprime to n.

%C a(4) = 0 since 4 is the smallest composite and unrelated numbers m with respect to n must be composite and smaller than n. All other composite n have at least one unrelated number m.

%C The test for unrelated numbers m that belong to n is 1 < gcd(m, n) < m.

%C a(6) = A073759(6), a(8) = A073759(8), a(9) = A073759(9).

%C (End)

%H Michael De Vlieger, <a href="/A073758/b073758.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000</a>

%e a(20) = 6 since it is the smallest term of the set of numbers m that neither divide nor are coprime to 20, i.e., {6, 8, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18}.
