Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
Alternatively, position of A126706(n) in the list R(rad(n)) of k such that rad(k) | n, where rad(n) = A007947(n). Note that rad(b(n)) < b(n) for all n.
Let prime p divide n. The set R(rad(n)) is a list of numbers beginning with the empty product 1 and including all k such that p | k implies p | rad(n). For example, R(6) = A003586. All k in A003586 are such that no prime q coprime to 6 divides k.

FORMULA
a(n) = A010846(A126706(n)).
EXAMPLE
a(1) = 8 since rad(b(1)) = rad(12) = 6, and in the sequence R(6) = A003586 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, ...}, 12 is the 8th term.
a(2) = 10 since rad(b(2)) = rad(18) = 6, and 18 is the 10th term in R(6).
a(3) = 8 since rad(b(3)) = rad(20) = 10, and in the sequence R(10) = A003592 = {1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, ...}, 20 is the 8th term.
a(4) = 11 since rad(b(4)) = rad(24) = 6, and 24 is the 11th term in R(6).
a(5) = 8 since rad(b(5)) = rad(28) = 14, and in the sequence R(14) = A003591 = {1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, ...}, 28 is the 8th term, etc.
