Formula

a(1) = 1, and for n > 1, if A241917(n) = 0 [i.e., n is a term of A070003], a(n) = A006530(n), otherwise a(n) = a(A052126(n)).

a(n) = A006530(A003557(n)). - Amiram Eldar, Feb 11 2021

Mathematica

a[n_] := If[(f = Select[FactorInteger[n], Last[#] > 1 &]) == {}, 1, f[[-1, 1]]]; Array[a, 100] (* Amiram Eldar, Feb 11 2021 *)
