A214685
a(n) is obtained from n by removing 2s, 3s, and 5s from the prime factorization of n that do not contribute to a factor of 30.

COMMENTS
In this sequence, the number 30 exhibits characteristics of a prime number. It exhibits characteristics of a prime number since all extraneous 2s, 3s, and 5s have been removed from the prime factorizations of all of the numbers.

FORMULA
a(n) = (n*30^(v_30(n)))/(2^(v_2(n))*3^(v_3(n))*5^(v_5(n))), where v_k(n) is the k-adic valuation of n. That is, v_k(n) is the largest power of k, a, such that k^a divides n.
Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ (31/144) * n^2. - Amiram Eldar, Dec 25 2023
EXAMPLE
n=15, v_2(15)=0, v_3(15)=1, v_5(15)=1, v_30(15)=0, so a(15) = 30^0*15/(2^0*3^1*5^1) = 1.
n=60, v_2(60)=2, v_3(60)=1, v_5(60)=1, v_30(60)=1, so a(60) = 30^1*60/(2^2*3^1*5^1) = 30.
MAPLE
a:= proc(n) local i, m, r; m:=n;
for i from 0 while irem(m, 30, 'r')=0 do m:=r od;
while irem(m, 2, 'r')=0 do m:=r od;
while irem(m, 3, 'r')=0 do m:=r od;
while irem(m, 5, 'r')=0 do m:=r od;
m*30^i
