FORMULA
EXAMPLE
Fractions begin with 0, 1/2, 1/2, 1, 1/2, 3/4, 1/2, 3/2, 1, 3/4, 1/2, 5/4, ...
4 has 2 unitary divisors: 1 and 4 = 2^2. The maximum exponents in their prime factorizations are 0 and 2, respectively. Therefore, a(4) = denominator((0 + 2)/2) = denominator(1) = 1.
12 has 4 unitary divisors: 1, 3 = 3^1, 4 = 2^2 and 12 = 2^2 * 3. The maximum exponents in their prime factorizations are 0, 1, 2 and 2, respectively. Therefore, a(12) = denominator((0 + 1 + 2 + 2)/4) = denominator(5/4) = 4.
MATHEMATICA
emax[n_] := If[n == 1, 0, Max[FactorInteger[n][[;; , 2]]]]; a[n_] := Denominator[DivisorSum[n, emax[#] &, CoprimeQ[#, n/#] &] / 2^PrimeNu[n]]; Array[a, 100]
PROG
(PARI) emax(n) = if(n == 1, 0, vecmax(factor(n)[, 2]));
a(n) = my(f = factor(n)); denominator(sumdiv(n, d, emax(d) * (gcd(d, n/d) == 1)) / (1 << omega(f)));
