COMMENTS
Every pair p of positive integers is of the form p = (a(n), A052409(n)) for exactly one n.
FORMULA
For n>1 we have a(n) = A278028(n,1).
EXAMPLE
a(27)=2 because the smallest root of 27 is 3, and 3 is the 2nd entry of A007916.
a(25)=3 because the smallest root of 25 is 5, and 5 is the 3rd entry of A007916.
