COMMENT

Equivalently, a(2n+1) = 2n+1 - (2n+1)/p, where p = A020639(2n+1) is the smallest prime divisor of 2n+1.

The even case is trivial: for 2k the largest difference is k.

Successively greater values of a(n) occur when 2n+1 is prime.

FORMULA

A060681(2n+1)

EXAMPLE

For n=17, 2n+1=35; divisors={1,5,7,35}; differences={4,2,28}; a(17) = largest difference = 28 = 35 - 35/5.

MATHEMATICA

a[n_] := 2n+1-(2n+1)/FactorInteger[2n+1][[1, 1]]
