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”).

Definition of GCQ_A: The greatest common non-divisor of type A (GCQ_A) of two positive integers a and b (a<=b) is the largest positive non-divisor q of numbers a and b such that 1<=q<=a common to a and b; GCQ_A(a, b) = 0 if no such c exists.
GCQ_A(1, b) = GCQ_A(2, b) = 0 for b >=1. GCQ_A(a, b) = 0 or >= 2.
Definition of LCQ_A: The least common non-divisor of type A (LCQ_A) of two positive integers a and b (a<=b) is the least positive non-divisor q of numbers a and b such that 1<=q<=a common to a and b; LCQ_A(a, b) = 0 if no such c exists.
LCQ_A(1, b) = LCQ_A(2, b) = 0 for b >=1. LCQ_A(a, b) = 0 or >= 2.
EXAMPLE
For a(5) = 12 holds: GCQ_A(12, 1) = GCQ_A(12, 2) = GCQ_A(12, 3) = GCQ_A(12, 4) = GCQ_A(12, 5) = 0.
Also holds: LCQ_A(12, 1) = LCQ_A(12, 2) = LCQ_A(12, 3) = LCQ_A(12, 4) = LCQ_A(12, 5) = 0.
