a(n) = least triangular number t > 0 such that n*t is a triangular number, or 0 if no such t exists.

a(n) = 1 if and only if n is a triangular number.

a(n) = 0 if n = p^(2*j) where p is a prime and j > 0. - Jon E. Schoenfield, Sep 17 2023

EXAMPLE

a(614) = 13964154294535688630985 = A000217(167117648945) because 614 * a(614) = A000217(4141012131555), and none of the smaller triangular numbers t satisfies 614*t = A000217(m) for some m.
