For n > 1: a(n) = 1 iff n is prime; a(A001358(n)) = A084127(n); a(A025475(n)) = A020639(A025475(n)). [corrected by Peter Munn, Feb 19 2017]

When n is composite, this is the 2nd factor when n is written as a product of primes in nondecreasing order. For example, 12 = 2*2*3, so a(12) = 2. - Peter Munn, Feb 19 2017

For all sufficiently large n the median value of a(1), a(2), ... a(n) is A281889(2) = 7. - Peter Munn, Jul 12 2019

FORMULA

a(n) = A020639(A032742(n)).

A117357(n) = A020639(A054576(n)); A117358(n) = A032742(A054576(n)) = A054576(n)/A117357(n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Mar 10 2006

If A001222(n) >= 2, a(n) = A027746(n,2), otherwise a(n) = 1. - Peter Munn, Jul 13 2019
