The radical of n, rad(n), is the product of distinct prime factors of n. For example, 504 = 2³ 3² 7, so rad(504) = 2 3 7 = 42.

If we calculate rad(n) for 1 n 10, then sort them on rad(n), and sorting on n if the radical values are equal, we get:

Unsorted			Sorted
n	rad(n)		n	rad(n)	k
1	1		1	1	1
2	2		2	2	2
3	3		4	2	3
4	2		8	2	4
5	5		3	3	5
6	6		9	3	6
7	7		5	5	7
8	2		6	6	8
9	3		7	7	9
10	10		10	10	10

Let E(k) be the kth element in the sorted n column; for example, E(4) = 8 and E(6) = 9.

If rad(n) is sorted for 1 n 100000, find E(10000).
