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”).

a(n) = largest k such that A014612(n+1) = A014612(n) + (A014612(n) mod k), or 0 if no such k exists.

From the definition, a(n) = A014612(n) - A114403(n) if A014612(n) - A114403(n) > A114403(n), 0 otherwise where A014612 are the 3-almost primes and A114403 are the gaps between 3-almost primes.

EXAMPLE
For n = 1 we have A014612(1) = 8, A014612(2) = 12; there is no k such that 12 - 8 = 4 = (8 mod k), hence a(1) = 0.
For n = 3 we have A014612(3) = 18, A014612(4) = 20; 16 is the largest k such that 20 - 18 = 2 = (18 mod k), hence a(3) = 16.
For n = 21 we have A014612(21) = 98, A014612(22) = 99; 97 is the largest k such that 99 - 98 = 1 = (97 mod k), hence a(21) = 97.
