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.
