Chai Wah Wu, Table of n, a(n) for n = 2..200

Formula

a(n) = A005420(n) * A049479(n)

Example

The lowest and higest prime factors of 2^6-1 are 3 and 7, so A(6) = 21

Maple

a:= proc(n) local F; F:= numtheory:-factorset(2^n-1); min(F)*max(F) end proc:
seq(a(n), n=2..50); # Robert Israel, Nov 05 2014

Mathematica

plhpf[n_]:=Module[{fn=FactorInteger[n]}, fn[[1, 1]]fn[[-1, 1]]]; Table[plhpf [2^n-1], {n, 2, 40}] (* Harvey P. Dale, May 23 2020 *)
