It is conjectured that a(n) = 1 only when n is a prime, A000040. See Thomas Ordowski's May 21 2017 problem in A001615.

FORMULA
a(n) = (1+n) / A342915(n) = (1+n) / gcd(1+n, A001615(n)).
PROG
(PARI)
A001615(n) = if(1==n, n, my(f=factor(n)); prod(i=1, #f~, f[i, 1]^f[i, 2] + f[i, 1]^(f[i, 2]-1))); \\ After code in A001615
A342916(n) = ((1+n)/gcd(1+n, A001615(n)));
CROSSREFS
Cf. also A160596.
After n=1 differs from A342918 for the first time at n=44, where a(44) = 5, while A342918(44) = 15.
