COMMENTS

For n > 1, we first find the least divisor d of n that is larger than 1 and for which it holds that when the binary expansion of d is converted to a (0,1)-polynomial (e.g., 13=1101[2] encodes X^3 + X^2 + 1), then that polynomial is a divisor of (0,1)-polynomial similarly converted from n, when the division is done over GF(2). a(n) is then the quotient polynomial converted back to decimal via its binary encoding. See the example.

FORMULA

For all n >= 1, A048720(a(n), A325643(n)) = n.

EXAMPLE

For n = 9, its least nontrivial divisor is 3, and we find that 3 (in binary "11") corresponds to polynomial X + 1, which in this case is a factor of polynomial X^3 + 1 (corresponding to 9 as 9 is "1001" in binary) as the latter factorizes as (X + 1)(X^2 + X + 1) over GF(2), that is, 9 = A048720(3,7). Thus a(9) = 7.

PROG

(PARI) A325642(n) = if(1==n, n, my(p = Pol(binary(n))*Mod(1, 2)); fordiv(n, d, if((d>1), my(q = Pol(binary(d))*Mod(1, 2)); if(0==(p%q), return(fromdigits(Vec(lift(p/q)), 2))))));
