COMMENTS

gcd(a(n), spf(n)) = 1;

a(n+1) = sfn(n) for n < 106, but a(107) = 173 = sfn(105), as sfn(107)*sfn(106) = 177*174 = (3*59)*(2*3*29) is not squarefree.

The first n such that a(n+1) != A005117(n) (the squarefree integers) are 106, 258, 292, 368, 509, 515, 566, 653, 719, 807, 839, 882, 928, 992, .... - Emmanuel Vantieghem, Mar 10 2017
