COMMENTS
Largest nondivisor less than m = A360768(n) that shares the same squarefree kernel as m.
a(n) is in A126706, not a permutation of A126706.

EXAMPLE
A360768(1) = 18; the smallest nondivisor k < 18 such that rad(k) = rad(18) = 6 is a(1) = 12.
A360768(2) = 24; the smallest nondivisor k < 24 such that rad(k) = rad(24) = 6 is a(2) = 18.
A360768(5) = 50; the smallest nondivisor k < 50 such that rad(k) = rad(50) = 10 is a(5) = 40.
