Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

A147300
a(n) = smallest value of parameter m such that the function rad(m*n*(n - m)) has minimal value n=2,3,4,..., 0 < m < n where the function rad(k) (also called radical(k)) is the product of distinct prime divisors of k.

COMMENTS
The function rad(k) is used in ABC conjecture applications.
For smallest values of the function rad(m n (n - m)) see A147298.
For the largest values of the function rad(m n (n - m)) see A147299.
For numbers m at which rad(m*n*(n - m)) reaches minimal value see A147300.
For numbers m at which rad(m*n*(n - m)) reaches maximal value see A147301.
For sequence in which each value log(n)/log(A147298(n)) reaches records see A147302.
