Radical of n, product of distinct prime factors of n

This article page is a stub, please help by expanding it.

The radical (squarefree kernel, largest squarefree divisor) of an integer is the product of distinct prime factors of that integer. For example, the radical of 12 is 6, since 2 × 3 = 6. If an integer is squarefree, it is equal to its radical (see A007947).

Multiplicative with $\scriptstyle a(p^{\alpha })\,=\,p,\,$ thus with $\scriptstyle n\,=\,\prod _{i=1}^{\omega (n)}p_{i}^{\alpha _{i}},\,$ we have

${\rm {rad}}(n)=\prod _{i=1}^{\omega (n)}p_{i}.\,$

n divided by radical of n

Multiplicative with $\scriptstyle a(p^{\alpha })\,=\,p^{\alpha -1},\,$ thus with $\scriptstyle n\,=\,\prod _{i=1}^{\omega (n)}p_{i}^{\alpha _{i}},\,$ we have

${\frac {n}{{\rm {rad}}(n)}}=\prod _{i=1}^{\omega (n)}p_{i}^{\alpha _{i}-1}.\,$
