A309378 a(n) is the smallest squarefree number m with n prime factors such that Sum_{prime q|m} 1/q - 1/m = P/Q, where P <> Q are primes, for n > 1, or a(n) = 1 if no such m.

Comments

Associated fractions P/Q for n > 1 are 2/3, 2/3, 17/19, 191/181, 19/17, 5701/4241, .... Note that Q | m.

a(n) is the least m with Omega(m) = omega(m) = n such that A326689(m) is a prime P and A326690(m) is a prime Q, or a(n) = 1 if no such m.

Example

1/2 + 1/3 - 1/6 = 2/3,
1/3 + 1/5 + 1/7 - 1/105 = 2/3,
1/2 + 1/5 + 1/7 + 1/19 - 1/1330 = 17/19,
....
6 = 2*3, 105 = 3*5*7, 1330 = 2*5*7*19, 331230 = 2*3*5*61*181, 127357230 = 2*3*5*17*53*151, ... - Jonathan Sondow, Jul 27 2019
