FORMULA
a(n) >= A007956(n).
a(p) = 1 for prime p.
a(p^2) = p.
a(p^e) = A000295(e).
a(p*q) = p*q for primes p, q, p < q.
A007947(n) | a(n) for n with omega(n) > 2.
EXAMPLE
Define S(n) to be the set of proper divisors of n.
a(2) = 1, since 2 is prime, S(2) = {1} and the product of S(2) is 1.
a(4) = 2, since S(4) = {1, 2}; S(2) = 1, hence we have (1 X 2) X 1 = 2.
a(6) = 6, since S(6) = {1, 2, 3}; 2 and 3 are primes p and both have S(p) = 1,
hence we have (1 X 2 X 3) X 1 X 1 = 6.
a(8) = 16, since S(8) = {1, 2, 4}; a(2) = 1, a(4) = 2,
therefore (1 X 2 X 4) X 1 X 2 = 16.
a(9) = 3, since S(9) = {1, 3}, a(3) = 1,
therefore (1 X 3) X 1 = 3.
a(10) = 10, since S(10) = {1, 2, 5};
a(2) = a(5) = 1, a(4) = 2,
therefore (1 X 2 X 5) X 1 X 1 = 10.
a(12) = 1728, since S(12) = {1, 2, 3, 4, 6};
a(2) = a(3) = 1, a(4) = 2, a(6) = 6,
therefore (1 X 2 X 3 X 4 X 6) X 1 X 1 X 2 X 6
= 144 X 12 = 1728.
