A086019 For p = prime(n), a(n) is the largest prime q such that pq is a base-2 pseudoprime; that is, 2^(pq-1) = 1 mod pq; a(n) is 0 if no such prime exists. +0

COMMENT

Using a theorem of Lehmer, it can be shown that the possible values of q are among the prime factors of 2^(p-1)-1. Sequence A085012 gives the smallest prime q such that 2^(pq-1) = 1 mod pq. Sequence A085014 gives the number of 2-factor pseudoprimes that have prime(n) as a factor.

EXAMPLE

a(9) = 683 because prime(9) = 23 and 683 is the largest factor of 2^22-1 that yields a pseudoprime when multiplied by 23.
