%N a(n) = gcd(n, 2^n - 2).

%C Greatest common divisor of n and 2^n - 2.

%C a(n)=n iff n=1 or n is prime or n is Fermat pseudoprime to base 2 or even pseudoprime to base 2. - Corrected by _Thomas Ordowski_, Jan 25 2016

%C Indices of 1's: A121707 preceded by 1. - False, see A267999.

%C Numbers n such that a(n) does not equal A020639(n) (the least prime factor of n): A146077.

%e a(3) = 3 because 2^3 - 2 = 6 and gcd(3, 6) = 3.

%e a(4) = 2 because 2^4 - 2 = 14 and gcd(4, 14) = 2.
