Problem Statement

Let a1<a2<a3<a4a_1 < a_2 < a_3 < a_4 be positive integers such that the following conditions hold:
-gcd(ai,aj)>1\gcd(a_i,a_j)>1 holds for all integers 1i<j41\le i < j\le 4. -gcd(ai,aj,ak)=1\gcd(a_i,a_j,a_k)=1 holds for all integers 1i<j<k41\le i < j < k\le 4.
Find the smallest possible value of a4a_4.
