COMMENTS
If n = p_1^e_1 *p_2^e_2 *p_3^e_3 *...* p_m^e_m is the canonical prime factorization of n with e_1, e_2, e_3,.. >0 and p_1<p_2<p_3<...<p_m, then a(n) = p_1^(e_1-1) *p_2^(e_2-1) *... *p_m^e^m, where exponents of all prime factors are decremented by 1, with the exception of the exponent associated with the largest prime prime factor that stays intact.
All prime powers (A000961) are fixed points.

FORMULA
a(n) = n*A006530(n)/A007947(n).
EXAMPLE
For n=24 = 2^3*3, the exponent 3 (associated with the smaller prime 2) is reduced to 2, so a(n)=2^2*3=12.
