%N A114536 Let the height of a polynomial be the largest coefficient in absolute
value. Then a(n) is the maximal height of a divisor of x^n-1 with
integral coefficients.

%F A114536 a(n)=1 iff n=1 or n=p^k where p is a prime and k is a positive integer;
a(pq)=min{p,q} where p and q are distinct primes.
%e A114536 a(6)=2 since (x+1)(x^2+x+1)=x^3+2x^2+2x+1 divides x^6-1 and no other
divisor has a greater height.
