FORMULA
Multiplicative with a(p^e) = p^e if e <= 2, a(p^e) = 1 if e is odd and e > 1, and p otherwise.
a(n) = n/A368170(n).
a(n) >= 1, with equality if and only if n is in A335988.
a(n) <= n, with equality if and only if n is cubefree (A004709).
Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ c * n^2, where c = (Pi^2/30) * Product_{p prime} (1 + 1/p^2 - 1/p^3 - 1/p^5 + 1/p^6) = 0.42246686366220037592... .
MATHEMATICA
f[p_, e_] := If[e <= 2, p^e, If[EvenQ[e], p, 1]]; a[1] = 1; a[n_] := Times @@ f @@@ FactorInteger[n]; Array[a, 100]
PROG
(PARI) a(n) = {my(f=factor(n)); prod(i=1, #f~, if(f[i, 2] <= 2, f[i, 1]^f[i, 2], if(f[i, 2]%2, 1, f[i, 1])))};
