%N Consider any chain of consecutive primes which divides n; take all longest such chains; maximize the product of the primes in the chain.

%e No primes divide 1, so the empty product 1 = a(1).

%e 4290 = 2 * 3 * 5 * 11 * 13 which is divisible by three consecutive primes 2, 3, and 5 so a(4290) = 2 * 3 * 5 = 30. (11 * 13 is larger but a shorter chain.)

%o (PARI) a(n)=if(n<4,n,my(f=factor(n)[,1],runLen=1,runProd=f[1],rLen=1,rProd=f[1]);for(i=2,#f,if(nextprime(f[i-1]+1)==f[i],runProd*=f[i];runLen++,if(runLen>=rLen,rLen=runLen;rProd=runProd);runLen=1;runProd=f[i]));if(runLen<rLen,rProd,runProd)) \\ _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Mar 02 2012
