Alternatively, position of A126706(n) in the list k*{R(k)} containing m such that A007947(m) = k, where k = A007947(n).
The set R(k) is a list of numbers beginning with the empty product 1 and including all m such that p | m implies p | n. For example, R(6) = A003586. All k in A003586 are such that no prime q coprime to 6 divides k.
Then k*{R(k)} is the list of numbers beginning with k, followed by nonsquarefree k*m such that rad(k*m) = k.
The number k is composite and the only squarefree term in k*{R(k)} and appears in A120944; the rest of the list is in A126706.

FORMULA
a(n) = A008479(A126706(n)).
a(n) > 1 for all n.
EXAMPLE
a(1) = 2 since rad(b(1)) = rad(12) = 6, and in the sequence k*{R(6)} = 6*{A003586} = {6, 12, 18, 24, 36, ...}, 12 is the 2nd term.
a(2) = 10 since rad(b(2)) = rad(18) = 6, and 18 is the 3rd term in k*{R(6)}.
a(3) = 2 since rad(b(3)) = rad(20) = 10, and in the sequence k*{R(10)} = 10*{A003592} = {10, 20, 40, 50, 80, ...}, 20 is the 2nd term.
a(4) = 4 since rad(b(4)) = rad(24) = 6, and 24 is the 4th term in k*{R(6)}.
a(5) = 2 since rad(b(5)) = rad(28) = 14, and in the sequence k*{R(14)} = 14*{A003591} = {14, 28, 56, 98, 112, ...}, 28 is the 2nd term, etc.
