FORMULA
Conjecture: a(n) = A002322(A007947(n)). - Velin Yanev, Feb 06 2021
EXAMPLE
1425 = 3*5^2*19 => a(1425) = lcm(2,4,18) = 36.
MATHEMATICA
a[n_] := {aux = 1; fa = FactorInteger[n]; len = Length[fa]; grau = Table[fa[[s]][[1]] - 1, {s, len}]; Do[aux = LCM[aux, grau[[i]]], {i, len}]; aux}[[1]]; Table[a[n], {n, 2, 40}]
