Largest "unrelated" number to n.
From Michael De Vlieger, Mar 28 2016 (Start):
Primes n have no unrelated numbers m < n since all such numbers are coprime to n.
Unrelated numbers m must be composite since primes must either divide or be coprime to n.
m = 1 is not counted as unrelated as it divides and is coprime to n.
a(4) = 0 since 4 is the smallest composite and unrelated numbers m with respect to n must be composite and smaller than n. All other composite n have at least one unrelated number m.
The test for unrelated numbers m that belong to n is 1 < gcd(m, n) < m.

EXAMPLE
n = 20: unrelated set to 20 = {6,8,12,14,15,16,18},largest is a(20) = 18.
