This sequence is a permutation of the natural numbers, with inverse A298882.
For any prime p and k > 0:
- if s_p(k) is the k-th p-smooth number and r_p(k) is the k-th p-rough number,
- then a(p * s_p(k)) = p * r_p(k),
- for example: a(11 * A051038(k)) = 11 * A008364(k).

			The first terms, alongside A006530(n), are:
  n     a(n)   gpf(n)

   1      1      1

a(1) = 1.
a(A125624(n, k)) = A083140(n, k) for any n > 0 and k > 0.
a(n) = A083140(A061395(n), A078899(n)) for any n > 1.
Empirically:
- a(n) = n iff n belongs to A046022,
- a(2^k) = 2 * k for any k > 0,
- a(2 * p) = p^2 for any prime p,
- a(3 * p) = p * A151800(p) for any odd prime p.
