%N For any n > 4: let p be the n-th prime number; a(n) is the least squarefree p-smooth integer congruent to 4 modulo p.

%C This sequence is well-defined per the work of Booker and Pomerance.

%C The number 4 in the congruence in the name could be replaced by any value; this number was chosen for being the first integer that is not squarefree.

%e For n = 7:

%e - the 7th prime is 17,

%e - the first squarefree 17-smooth integers s, alongside (s-4) mod 17, are:

%e s 1 2 3 5 6 7 10 11 13 14 15 17 21

%e ------------ -- -- -- - - - -- -- -- -- -- -- --

%e (s-4) mod 17 14 15 16 1 2 3 6 7 9 10 11 13 0

%e - hence a(7) = 21.
