A365476 a(n) is the minimum of A000120(k)*A000120(A071904(n)/k) for divisors k of the n-th odd composite number A071904(n) other than 1 and A071904(n).

Comments

a(n) = 4 iff A071904(n) is the product of two (not necessarily distinct) members of A000051.

a(n) >= A000120(A071904(n)) because A000120(x) * A000120(y) >= A000120(x*y).

a(n) <= A349494(A071904(n)).

Example

a(9) = 4 because A071904(9) = 45 = 3 * 15 = 5 * 9 with A000120(3) * A000120(15) = 2 * 4 = 8 and A000120(5) * A000120(9) = 2 * 2 = 4.

Maple

g:= proc(n) convert(convert(n, base, 2), `+`) end proc:
f:= proc(n) local t, r;
      min(seq(g(t)*g(n/t), t = numtheory:-divisors(n) minus {1, n}))
    end proc:
map(f, remove(isprime, [seq(i, i=3..1000, 2)]));
