Definition
Let $n \in \Z$ be an integer.
The radical of $n$ is the product of the individual prime factors of $n$.
Sequence
The sequence of radicals of the integers beings:
$n$ | Decomposition | $\map \Rad n$ |
---|---|---|
$1$ | $1$ | $1$ |
$2$ | $2$ | $2$ |
$3$ | $3$ | $3$ |
$4$ | $2^2$ | $2$ |
$5$ | $5$ | $5$ |
$6$ | $2 \times 3$ | $6$ |
$7$ | $7$ | $7$ |
$8$ | $2^3$ | $2$ |
$9$ | $3^2$ | $3$ |
$10$ | $2 \times 5$ | $10$ |
$11$ | $11$ | $11$ |
$12$ | $2^2 \times 3$ | $6$ |
$13$ | $13$ | $13$ |
