Examples
a(1) = 0 as there are no number k such that A003415(k) = A002110(1) = 2. a(3) = 221 as A003415(221) = A003415(13*17) = A003415(13)*17 + 13*A003415(17) = 1*17 + 13*1 = 30 which is A002110(3) and no k>221 has arithmetic derivative 30. - _David A. Corneth_, Jan 17 2024

a(n) = {if(n==1,return(0)); pr = vecprod(primes(n)); prover2 = pr/2; forprime(p = prover2, oo, if(isprime(pr - p), return(p*(pr-p))))} \\ David A. Corneth, Jan 17 2024
Formula
For n > 1, a(n) = p*q, where p, q are primes, p+q = A002110(n) and q >= p and q - p is minimal. - David A. Corneth, Jan 17 2024 [This depends on Goldbach's conjecture being valid, at least on primorials, for which there is strong empirical evidence though.] - Antti Karttunen, Jan 19 2024
