Comments

Considering the set of divisors > 1 of n reduced by 1, a(n) is the smallest number whose divisors contain this set;

a(n) < n iff n=p^k, p prime and 1 <= k <= 2: a(A001248(n)) < A001248(n), a(A000430(n)) < A000430(n), a(A080257(n))> A080257(n);

a(n) is odd iff n=2^k.

Example

n=35: divisors > 1 of 35 = {5,7,35}, a(35) = lcm(4,6,34) = 204;
n=37: divisors > 1 of 37 = {37}, a(37) = lcm(36) = 36.
